A 15-year-old girl who went missing Sunday after leaving her Stafford Township home to go for a walk is home safe with her family, friends say.

A reader post on this story and posts on the Jersey Shore Hurricane News page on Facebook, which first reported the search for Samantha Budd, said late Monday evening that she was safe and home with her family.
