CYPRESS, Texas (KTRK) -- A gas station clerk whose family says she went missing after meeting a man on an online dating site has been found safe, the Harris County Sheriff's Office confirms.

ABC13 aired the story about 25-year-old Kamari Long-Garcia on Thursday. Authorities say that after news reports, Long-Garcia contacted several family members.

They don't believe she is in any danger.

Family members became concerned after they say she got into a Lyft on Oct. 12 at an apartment complex near Huffmeister Road.

The Lyft was sent by a mystery man and drove her into Houston for a date the two had planned. Long-Garcia's family said she had been missing for 13 days.

Long-Garcia works at the Exxon gas station on Barker Cypress Road near Cypress-North Houston Boulevard. Her boss, Harman Singh, said he's known Long-Garcia for years. He said at the time that he was growing more worried with each passing day because he would call her cell phone, but there was no answer.
