The responders searched the grounds and around the Elmwood Village Apartments for the 15-year-old, who went missing after an argument with her mother Tuesday afternoon April 12.

They were checking garages when one of them heard a noise and found the teen hiding behind a car, said Police Chief Michael Foligno, who is also the borough administrator.

EMS was checking her out before returning the teen to her mom, he said.
