UPDATE: Murfreesboro, TN - The Murfreesboro Police Department (MPD) has officially canceled a BOLO (Be On the Lookout) for 14-year-old Arianah Denwiddie, who was reported missing on November 25, 2024. After days of concern and a city-wide search, police confirmed the teen has been located and is safe.

Arianah’s disappearance began when her mother reported her missing on November 25 after she failed to return home. The teen was believed to have met a boy at a movie theater on Cason Lane that evening, but alarm grew when it became apparent that she did not have her cellphone with her. With no immediate way to contact her, Arianah's family and the MPD sought help from the public to locate her.

As days passed without her return, the MPD turned to media outlets and the community to spread the word, urging anyone with information to come forward. The effort paid off, and Arianah was safely found seven days after she was first reported missing.

The MPD extended gratitude to the community for sharing information and keeping an eye out for the teen. While no further details were provided about the circumstances surrounding her return, the department confirmed that Arianah is now safe.
