The missing Michigan teens who left town together nearly two weeks ago have been found safe in Chicago this morning, authorities said.
Jayden Thomas, 13, of Clare, and Braxton Wood, 14, of Mount Pleasant, were first reported missing since Aug. 26. Braxton apparently took his mother's black 2005 Ford Explorer during the early morning hours and picked up Jayden before taking off.
They were due to start their freshman year at different high schools last week, and their parents said the two even briefly broke up because of that.
Local law enforcement found the couple this morning in the back of the Ford Explorer in a parking lot adjacent to a Mobil gas station in Wrigleyville, a neighborhood in Chicago, Sgt. Tim Edeling of the Chicago Police Department 19th District told ABCNews.com.
The SUV's battery was dead and the couple had run out of gas.
Michael Cook, a private investigator at the Center for Search and Investigations who was assisting in the hunt for the pair, told ABCNews.com that someone from Braxton's hometown also notified him about seeing the couple in Chicago this morning.
The Mt. Pleasant native who was visiting Chicago called Cook about a possible sighting of Braxton, who was seen wearing a Central Michigan University sweatshirt, which is located in Mt. Pleasant. He then called the 19th District, and learned Jayden and Braxton had been found.
Someone is getting more than a spanking.
