10-year-old girl from Golden who was missing overnight has been found
A 10-year-old girl was found safe Friday morning after she knocked on a stranger’s Aurora apartment door 27 miles from her Golden home and said she was hungry and lost.
The family called police and fed Madeleine Malloy breakfast around 7 a.m. The girl had gone missing up to 14 hours earlier, said Jenny Fulton, spokeswoman for the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.
“We do not believe there was an abduction. We believe she ran away from home,” Fulton said during a news conference at 8:30 a.m. “We’re just grateful she was found.”
Madeleine went missing from the 18300 block of W 59th Drive in Golden some time between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. after she had a “disagreement” with her stepmom in her home, authorities said.
