Orange County authorities have located a 12-year-old girl who had been missing since Saturday, the sheriff’s office said.

Rosaline Jasmine Gonzalez has been missing from the Duke Forest Lane Mobile Home Park, between N.C. Highway 10 and U.S. Highway 70, since just after 5 p.m. Saturday, the sheriff’s office said.

An Amber Alert was not issued because authorities didn't confirm that Gonzalez was abducted.

On Sunday night at 10 p.m., officials posted on Facebook that she was safe.

"Rosaline Gonzalez is safe - she was located in Durham tonight," the post read. "We are grateful to our amazing community for the concern, the prayers and the shares. You came through in a HUGE way by helping us spread the news. Thank you!"

Gonzalez is 5 feet, 2 inches tall and weighs about 120 pounds.

She was last seen wearing a black sweatshirt with white text.

Anyone with information about her whereabouts can call 911.
