Wagoner's father, Dustin Wagoner, provided LEX 18 with a statement after his daughter was found.

"Wynter has been found. She is safe and that's about all the information we can give at this time," Wagoner said. "It's very, very new - it just happened so the details are not clear at the moment. I don't want to give any misinformation (and) I hope you understand...I do also want to say thank you for all the efforts in trying to find my daughter and all the prayers for her safety. We do truly appreciate it and are so thankful she's okay."

More information is expected to come as the investigation continues.
