An AMBER Alert issued for a teenager missing in Hot Springs was canceled. The Hot Springs Police Department says in a Facebook post 17-year-old Trynytee Case has been found safe.

Case had been reported missing after she left her job at the Pour Some Sugar on Me Sweet Shoppe at around 9:15 Monday night. According to the Arkansas State Police, she and another co-worker were walking to their vehicles, parked a block away, when they met an unknown white female standing near another parked vehicle. The unknown female asked to use Case’s phone, saying she was lost, and her parents were staying in a condo in the city. The unknown female reportedly changed her mind, said she needed to utilize the GPS coordinates and asked Case to walk closer to the vehicle.

Case’s co-worker said she would get her vehicle, parked in a parking garage owned by the city of Hot Springs. When she returned, Case was nowhere to be located. The co-worker attempted to call Case’s phone with no answer, and she then contacted the victim’s mother.

The mother attempted to contact her daughter numerous times. When she got an answer, Case said “everything was fine,” but a male voice then came across the phone. The male stated he was demanding $10,000 for Case’s return, or he would kill her and cut her up. The phone then went dead.

The Hot Springs Police Department did not specify where she was located.
