A 14-year-old Arkansas girl who had been missing for over two months has been located nearly 1,000 miles away in Tampa, Florida.

According to the Conway Police Department, Tanvi Marupally was found safe Wednesday in Florida after a tip was given to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Her parents have been notified and we are currently working with Tampa Police Department and the U.S. Marshals Service to bring her back to Conway," police said. "A special thanks to the community and the involved agencies for helping bring Tanvi home."

Marupally was reported as a runaway after never returning home from school on Jan. 17.

Her parents believe their daughter ran away because of the family's tenuous immigration status. They said during an interview in January that they've legally lived and worked in the U.S. for many years, hoping and trying to acquire citizenship, but the country's immigration system has left them out in the cold.

At the time, Marupally's father was facing the possibility of being laid off from his job, costing him his work visa. Her parents believed the prospect of being ripped from her home in the U.S. was too much for their daughter.

She was last seen on security camera footage at Conway Junior High School the day of her disappearance, walking past the school bus she usually takes home.

Please come back. Please, Tanvi, try to understand. Please come back," Marupally's mother said after her disappearance. "She's the motivation we both to come over here. If she's not there, we don't have purpose to come here, do all these things. Everyday we are walking on the edge, trying to keep her, providing a better life. And safe especially, particularly safe."
