A 13-year-old New Kensington girl missing since Monday is back at home.

“She is safe and sound,” Detective Sgt. Dino DiGiacobbe said Thursday afternoon.

Patience Johnson, 13, was last seen Monday morning in the city wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, black and white pants, brown knee-high boots and silver hoop earrings, police said.

She went home on her own on Thursday, DiGiacobbe said. “Police want to thank the media and the large number of people who called in with tips,” he said.
