A Deltona woman missing since Friday was found this morning near where her abandoned pickup had been found, an official said.
"Early this morning, members of the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office East Side Detective Unit resumed the search for Nikki Shriver and found her in Tiger Bay State Forest," said Volusia County Sheriff's Office spokesman Andrew Gant.
Authorities have been searching for Shriver, 30, since she called 9-1-1 around 5 a.m. Friday to report that her pickup was stuck in the Tiger Bay Wildlife Management Area near Daytona Beach, the Volusia County Sheriff's Office said.
Her truck was found Friday afternoon by officers from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
Since then, members of the Volusia County Sheriff's Office, Air 1 and VCSO K-9, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the Division of Forestry have all been searching. An airboat was sent out Sunday to search in a canal along U.S. 92, officials said.
Detectives returned to the woods early Tuesday morning near where Shriver went missing and turned on their sirens, Gant said. Around 5:26 a.m., she was spotted.
"Shriver came out from a wooded area about a mile south of the location where her vehicle was stuck," Gant said.
Shriver was taken to Halifax Health Medical Center in Daytona Beach for evaluation, but no major injuries were evident, Gant said.
