An endangered, missing woman from Rutherford County has been found.

Officials said 50-year-old Rhonda Carrithers walked away from a wedding rehearsal Friday night off of Shores Road in western Rutherford County.

Friends of Carrithers flagged down a deputy who began searching for her. Other deputies responded, along with a drone and a K-9 unit, to search.

A Tennessee Highway Patrol helicopter was also used in the search.

On Saturday, authorities said they searched for her in a dense area.

Details had not been released, but authorities confirmed she had been located and was receiving proper care.
