KINGSLAND, Ga. – A 21-year-old woman who had been reported missing in Camden County was found Wednesday in Folkston, Georgia.

But Rauscher was found Wednesday at her friend's home in Folkston and told police she was "where she wanted to be" and had just been trying to get away from her boyfriend and his family.

She was not hurt.

Rauscher's boyfriend, Timothy Vessels, who lives with her, told News4Jax that he woke up Monday and saw the front door open and there was no sign of Rauscher. He said she had been acting strangely for several days after meeting up with an old friend.

Vessels said Rauscher only took her wallet, purse and possibly a cellphone.
