Authorities in southeastern Minnesota have located a woman missing since she left for work early Wednesday. She had not been in contact with her family since then.

Initially, officials were concerned that the 31-year-old of Goodview, Minn., might have been in a crash or otherwise become stranded along a road in subzero conditions.

But Goodview Police Chief Kent Russell said at a news conference on Thursday afternoon that the agencies working on the case had gathered "very credible" information that the woman had made her way back to Winona at some point on Wednesday, and then was seen in the La Crosse, Wis., area.

Winona County Emergency Management announced late Thursday that the woman had been found.
