TAYLORSVILLE — A 17-year-old girl who went missing from her Taylorsville home on Nov. 24 was found safe on Wednesday, according to police.
Olivia Graham, who suffers from "several mental disabilities and functions at a 12-year-old level," disappeared after leaving her home with several belongings, according to Unified Police Lt. Justin Hoyal.
Police issued an endangered missing person alert because it was believed Graham had not taken her medication for a week, and that she could become violent due to her mental condition, Hoyal said.
Police tracked Graham to an address in Midvale, where she was found safe and uninjured, Hoyal said.
The teen has a history of running away, frequenting TRAX stations, the Valley Fair Mall and the Salt Lake City Main Library, according to Hoyal. In 2012, Unified police and the public were involved in a search for Graham, who had stayed at a friend's house and returned home 36 hours after she went missing, he said.
