MARIETTA, Ga. -- A 12-year-old reported missing in Marietta has been found safe, police said.
According to Marietta Police, Elijah Jones had last seen near his home on Sunday. Police said they didn't believe the boy to be a runaway and were concerned because of the heat the area has experienced in the last few days.
