LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) –A 15-year-old girl who was allegedly abducted in Santa Rosa -- and at one point was believed to possibly be in Southern California -- has been found safe.
Santa Rosa police reported a little after 10 a.m. Thursday that 15-year-old Georgiana Bambaloi has been found and is back home safe in Vallejo.
