Golden Hearts announced Georjlyn had been “found” and was “safe” in a Facebookpostthat did not specify when or where the missing woman was found.
“We don’t see enough of ‘found alive’ and her being found as so, is a great moment of relief,” Wilson told the outlet.
“Most cases of missing persons end up going into cold cases,” she added.
Georjlyn, who has 11,000 followers on TikTok, shared multiple updates onher accountafter she was deemed safe, and asked people to stop contacting her about being reported missing.
“Leave me tf alone,” she wrote atop a video posted Saturday, adding that she was “not missing” and did not plan to respond to messages about the situation.
In a second video, the woman said she is “okay” and had spoken with police.
Neither Golden Hearts nor the Columbus Division of Police immediately responded to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

Georjlyn’s mother, Brenda Hayes, told the outlet that she believed her daughter had traveled to Columbus and Cincinnati, but later saw a TikTok on her daughter’s page about Georjlyn getting stranded in Kentucky. (It appears that the TikTok has since been deleted.)
Brenda said she then sent her daughter money via CashApp in hopes of assisting her, but claimed it was withdrawn in a different time zone.
“People have reached out through her social media and they get blocked,” she told the news station before Georjlyn was found.
In the first TikTok she posted Saturday, Georjlyn claimed she was the one who withdrew the money.
“We are elated her missing persons case had great public reaction, and could result in her family having peace of mind,” Wilson told the outlet.
