Missing Mercer student found safe
September 16, 2013
Mercer University student Allison Moretz, who was reported missing in Jacksonville, Fl. early Sunday morning, has been found safe, according to Mercer Police and the Jacksonville Sheriff’s office.
Corporal Mike Kondorf with Mercer Police said Moretz had gone to a J. Cole concert in Jacksonville with a friend. After the concert, Moretz decided to visit the band tour bus.
A tour bus driver saw Moretz walk off with an unknown man. Moretz’s friend reported her missing at 3:30 a.m. Sunday morning.
Kondorf said Mercer Police tried contacting Moretz through text, email, phone calls and Facebook message.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office sent out an email shortly after 1:30 p.m. Monday, stating that Moretz had been found safe, and that no criminal activity appeared to have taken place.
Mercer Police said Moretz’s mother is on her way to Jacksonville to pick up Moretz. Moretz was still with the man she left the concert with, but she is now with police in Jacksonville.
