TAMPA, Fla. — On Friday, officials said they located a 14-year-old girl who went missing in Bradenton in March.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) said 14-year-old Surianneylis Perez-Sanchez was found safe on April 11, over a week after her companion, 14-year-old Marlen Daniela Cordona-Barahon, was located.
On March 27, the FDLE first issued a missing child alert for Perez-Sanchez. Then, a day later, officials issued another alert for Cordona-Barahona, who they believed was accompanying Perez-Sanchez.
Both girls were last seen near the 1800 block of Martin Luther King Ave in Bradenton. Officials continued to search for Perez-Sanchez after they found Cordona-Barahona on April 2.
There are no other details about the girls' disappearance at this time.

"I cried, of course, because I've worked very hard getting it nice, which has been difficult for me since I lost my husband and being alone,” Kelly Welty said.
Welty's mobile home lost its roof during Hurricane Milton. She said it was the only one in the Buena Vista community to get totaled by a tornado.
