A New Jersey teenager was found Thursday night in New York City after missing for nearly a month. Fourteen-year-old Jashyah Moore was found safe in Harlem and was taken into care by the Essex County prosecutor's office.
According to Essex County, New Jersey, prosecutor Ted Stevens, Moore was staying at a shelter in Brooklyn but was found in Harlem.
Stevens, who was appointed by Gov. Phil Murphy in 2018, says uniting Moore with her family safe and unharmed could not have been done without the teamwork and "all-hands-on-deck" effort of law enforcement partners, citizens and news outlets.
