UPDATE:

Wyoming Highway Patrol Lt. Tim Romig says investigators are still trying to determine how Jordan Lampus ended up over 2,000 miles away from home.

The 22-year-old, who went missing from Erie, Pennsylvania, on Friday, Feb. 21, was found safe in Seattle, Washington, Thursday morning.

Cheyenne-area law enforcement got involved in the search for Lampus Sunday morning after troopers discovered her van abandoned on the side of Interstate 80 east of Cheyenne.

"The Cheyenne community really pitched in and helped out on this one," said Romig. "So we're pretty pleased with that."

Tina says Jordan was taken to a hospital by police, but she's okay. She says Jordan was lost and didn't have her glasses.
