14 Year Old New Jersey Girl Breanna Bird Missing (Update: Returned Safe)

The Galloway township teen — whose dad is a 22-year veteran of the local police force — stayed home Saturday evening when her parents went to dinner.
When they came back, they said Breanna was gone. No one has heard from her since.
She left her cell phone behind, but nothing indicating she planned to be away for long.
“The only thing missing is her pocketbook and her coat,” said her mom. (NBC10)
