A woman and her newborn infant who were both reported as missing last week were located late Sunday, authorities say.
Kimberly Matlock, 36, was located that night with her child on the 1800 block of East Main Street in Grass Valley, according to the Nevada County Sheriff’s Office.
At 11:46 p.m., sheriff’s deputies responded to a 911 report from an individual who said they’d seen a woman matching the description of Matlock, who’d been reported as missing since May 4. Officers arriving on the scene immediately conducted an area check, according to sheriff’s Lt. Jason Perry.
Deputies on East Main Street found a blue Honda Civic with three women and an infant child, and one of the women was positively identified as Matlock, Perry said. After contacting the occupants of the vehicle, the officers collected the child because of an outstanding warrant issued by Child Protective Services.
