PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — An 86-year-old woman reported as missing/endangered was found Friday night, shortly after the Port St. Lucie Police Department asked the public's help to locate her.

Around 7 p.m. Friday, Carolyn Dukes Wood was reported missing to the police. But shortly before 9 p.m., the department posted on Twitter she was safely located and in good health.

"Thank you to everyone for your help," the department tweeted.

In a subsequent news release, the department said: "A special thanks to Jupiter Police Department."
