Update:
Faith Threet has been found safe in Adairville, Ky., according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.

Kevin Pitt, with whom Threet was said to be, is in custody.

Investigators are working with the district attorney's office on charges to be made against Pitt.

A family member of Threet's said two hunters happened to find Pitt's vehicle in a wooded area of Adairville Saturday morning. Recognizing the vehicle as Pitt's, along with its license plate, the hunters called police.

A K9-assisted search led to the discovery of Pitt and Threet, who were on foot having abandoned the vehicle.

Threet is expected to be back home later today.

Family members said Faith Noel Threet was last seen at 3 p.m. Thursday at their home off Cowan Road in Springfield. She was feeding their horses when she disappeared from the yard. A home security camera captured an image of her wearing dark blue jeans, black mud boots and a black hooded sweatshirt. Investigators said Threet has a known medical condition.
