The Stearns County Sheriff’s Office reports the missing 17-year-old teenage girl from Texas has been located in Spicer.

Chief Deputy Bruce Bechtold says the Kandiyohi County Sheriff’s Office contacted them about 9:30 a.m. Thursday morning to let them know Natalie Klehr was found in Spicer.

A deputy from Stearns County brought her back. Law enforcement is thanking the public and media for their assistance in helping locate the Klehr.

She is from Elgin, Texas but her family is originally from the Stearns County area and she has a lot of family and friends in central Minnesota. No other information will be made available because she is a private juvenile.
