North Georgia teen missing for months found safe, sheriff’s office says

A north Georgia teenager who disappeared in February has been found safe four months later.

The Oconee County Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday that 17-year-old Julia Mann has been located and they verified her identity. The sheriff’s office is not releasing more information at this time.

“Please respect her privacy and be respectful to a teenage girl and her family. Thank you for your concern and your assistance in finding Julia,” the office said in a statement on Facebook.

Mann was reported missing after she was last seen at her home on Feb. 20. She had recently moved to Watkinsville from Dunwoody.

Authorities had offered in March a $20,000 reward for information that would lead to Mann.
