Girl missing since Sunday found with family friend

Authorities say a girl reported missing from her South Side Chicago home since Sunday has been found and is in good condition.

Police say 11-year-old Sarah Montgomery was found late Tuesday at the home of one of her mother's friends. The girl had contacted family members earlier this week, but did not give her whereabouts.

Sarah's father reported the girl missing on Sunday. Police spokeswoman Laura Kubiak says the girl ran away.

Officers in the Calumet Area special-victims unit conducted an extensive search for the girl. The friend of the girl's mother contacted police Tuesday to inform them of her whereabouts.

Police did not immediately say why the girl ran away.
