Update (5:11 p.m.) A Dundalk teen missing for five days has been found and returned to her family, the Maryland Center for Missing Children, a unit of the Maryland State Police, confirmed Friday afternoon.

Chelsea Marie Sadecki, 16, had last been seen at approximately 10 a.m., Sunday. 

"She has been located, confirmed by the family and law enforcement," Carla Proudfoot, director of the Maryland Center for Missing Children, wrote in an email to Patch Friday afternoon.

No other information is available at this time.

From the previous post:

"She is still currently missing and has not been located," Carla Proudfoot, director of the Maryland Center for Missing Children, said Thursday afternoon.

Sadecki is 5-foot-3 inches, 120 pounds, according to a poster published online on the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children's website. She is further described as having hazel eyes and blonde hair, below shoulder length, "usually worn straightened or up in a scrunchie." She has a scar in the middle of her forehead.

According to the poster, Sadecki turns 17 Friday. She may frequent the Rosedale/Overlea area, the Dundalk/Sparrows Point area or Harford County.

The poster was created at the request of the teenager's family, Proudfoot said.

"At this point, she is not listed as critical because there is no indication of foul play," Proudfoot said. "She's listed as an endangered runaway simply because of her age and the length of time, over 24 hours, immediately puts her in danger."

Baltimore City police in the Southeastern District are handing the investigation.

"If anyone sees her, they should call the Baltimore City police or 911," Proudfoot said.

Anyone with information can contact Baltimore City police at 410-396-2525 or 410-396-2422 or the Maryland Center for Missing Children at 1-800-637-5437.
