Linwood woman who was subject of search Wednesday night found unharmed in Bonner Springs

An 18-year-old Linwood woman who was the subject of a search Wednesday night in Leavenworth County that included a helicopter was found unharmed Thursday morning in Bonner Springs, sheriff’s officials said.

Leavenworth County Undersheriff Ron Cranor said officers used a Kansas Highway Patrol helicopter to search in and near Linwood. He said officers were trying to find the woman, who was believed to be on foot in the area, because of a medical condition she had. Officers found her Thursday.

One Linwood resident reported a helicopter was in the area with a spotlight for more than two hours Wednesday night.
