College student who vanished found safe

ATLANTA — Friends and loved ones of a missing college student are breathing a sigh of relief to learn she has been found safe.

Investigators said late Tuesday that Monique Priester has been found.

Priester’s mother, Jacquelin Vanloo-Alkush, said her daughter sent a text message saying she was going to take an Uber.

“It was a shared Uber, and (she) just never came home,” said Priester’s friend, Darren Howard.

Since Friday, Priester’s phone has gone straight to voicemail.
