An amber alert issued for a 16-year-old in Texas was canceled after the girl was found in the town of Somerville on Sunday.

Kylee Ann White, the teen, was found unharmed around 8:25 a.m. and returned to her father’s custody, the The Royse City Police Department said in an update.

The incident is still being investigated by police and authorities. Police said they believe the incident is isolated and was not an abduction and that there is no threat to the general public.

An Amber Alert was issued after White was reported missing by her family on Saturday morning, initially saying she ran away. Later that day, the family received a call from an unknown person “who claimed to be holding Kylee against her will,” police said. However, the authenticity of the call has not been verified but police initially treated her disappearance as an abduction.

Dallas News reported that White was last seen around 2 a.m., on Saturday in the 500 block of Love Lane, according to authorities.
