MADISON, W.Va. -- A Boone County teenager who went missing more than a week ago has been found safe and sound.

Octavia "Tayvie" Smoot, 16, of Madison was last seen Jan. 25 in the company of her boyfriend, Richie Dangott, 23, of Turtle Creek. Dangott is wanted on a probation violation charge, according to Boone County Sheriff Randall White.

Smoot's family and friends began a Facebook group last week to spread the word of her disappearance.

Madison police found Smoot early today, according to a police department spokeswoman. The girl was unharmed.
