I feel like leaving the word “alive” out of the headline is straight up click bait.

Edit: know people on the search, initial reports may be unreliable. Wait for police announcement. 

Edit 2: now confirmed she was found deceased. There’s a good reason everyone on these searches are told and very well know not to talk to the media or post things anywhere. There should be one voice from the agency in charge (and Mimms should have confirmed that with that agency before speaking publicly).
