Lamar County authorities say two teenage girls who went missing this week have been found safe.
A Lamar County dispatcher could not say where the girls and the men they were traveling with were found, but said they were "in custody" as of 9:45 Thursday night. She could not elaborate on that statement.
The Lamar sheriff's office identifies the missing girls as Amber Henry, 14, of High Falls and Kirsten Kamradt, 14, of Barnesville.
Lamar officials said Thursday that the girls were abducted by two 19-year-old men who may have taken them to Tennessee or North Carolina. But the Monroe County sheriff said Henry may have run away to be with her boyfriend.
Sheriff John Cary Bittick said deputies received a call at 1:30 a.m. Tuesday that Henry left her grandmother's home to join her boyfriend, Joshua Paul Crow, 19, of Lamar County.
They were believed to be traveling with Kirsten Kamradt and 19-year-old Justin Blake Elliott.
Bittick said they may have been in a 2000 white Buick Park Avenue sedan with Georgia license plates BPR2690.
The Lamar County sheriff's office described Crow and Elliott as abductors.
A Lamar sheriff's news release said: "The juvenile girls are considered to be in danger from their abductors. One of the men's psychological condition causes him to be a great concern to local law enforcement."
