Midway Police Chief Kelli Morningstar’s 16-year-old daughter, Alexis Maureen Morningstar, was found safe Friday morning in Jacksonville and is being returned to her mother in Midway.

Alexis Morningstar had been missing since Monday morning around 7:45 a.m., when her mother dropped her off at Liberty County High School. For several days, there was no activity on her social-media pages. Midway Police Officer Duvale Page personally offered a $1,000 reward for information that led to Alexis’ safe return.

It is not known yet whether someone stepped forward with a tip and claimed the reward. The Courier will provide more information on this case as details emerge.
