Photo of Missing NJ Teen Snapped By Security Camera

Missing New Jersey Teen, Kara Alongi, was spotted this Sunday on security camera footage in a Rahway train station. The single photo alerted police to Kara's whereabouts and the valuable information that she was alone and safe. Though this certainly was a comfort to her parents, she was not located until Tuesday afternoon when she called authorities from a Southern New Jersey Burger King. Kara was taken to a hospital, standard procedure for any missing child, and then returned home to her family. Police have scheduled an interview with the teen and will determine if she will face any charges for the panic inducing tweet that lead to dozens of concerned phone calls and wasted police resources. We're thankful that she is home now, and that her parents may have been spared some anxiety in regards to her abduction after seeing the security camera footage of her alone and safe. Public transportation hubs are a prime location in need of proper security and surveillance equipment. It is fortunate that this particular station was equipped with security cameras; many missing persons cases and criminal cases have been solved with the help of these devices.
