RAPID CITY, SD — Rapid City police say three girls who were reported missing Friday night have been found safe. Officers said 13-year-old Julianna Siers, 13-year-old Lindsay Soule and 12-year-old Amelia Steele were last seen together around 10:30 p.m. in the 100 block of Surfwood Drive in the northern part of the city.
By Saturday morning, police said all three had been located. The update brought an end to an overnight search centered on the area where they were last seen.
Police said the girls were last seen late Friday
The Rapid City Police Department said the girls were together when they were last seen late Friday night. Their disappearance was first reported after that 10:30 p.m. sighting in north Rapid City.
Authorities did not release any additional details about where the girls may have gone during the time they were missing. They also did not say whether any public safety concerns were involved in the case.
The police update focused on the fact that the girls had been found and were safe, rather than on the circumstances that led to the missing-person report.
North Rapid City neighborhood was the focus of the search
Surfwood Drive is in the northern part of town, and that location became the center of the search after the girls were reported missing. Police did not provide a detailed timeline of the search efforts, but the overnight period between Friday night and Saturday morning was the key window.
Missing-person cases often move quickly when three young teenagers are involved, and law enforcement typically relies on tips, local awareness and prompt updates. In this case, the department’s morning statement indicated the situation had been resolved without harm to the girls.
The girls ranged from 12 to 13 years old
The three children were identified by police as Julianna Siers, Lindsay Soule and Amelia Steele. Two of the girls are 13, and one is 12, making the case one involving young minors.
Police did not say whether the girls were related or attending the same activity before they were last seen together. No other personal details were released in the statement beyond their names, ages and the time and place they were last seen.
Police confirmed the case was resolved by Saturday morning
By the time of the Saturday morning update, the Rapid City Police Department said the girls had all been found safe. That was the only status information police provided in the public notice.
The department did not say how the girls were located or who found them. It also did not indicate whether the case remained under active investigation after they were recovered.
What the public statement makes clear about the incident
The police statement leaves a few key details unanswered, including how the girls ended up missing in the first place and how they were ultimately found. What it does make clear is that the search ended with a positive outcome for the family and authorities involved.
For residents in the northern part of Rapid City, the update closed a brief but urgent missing-person alert. The department’s message Saturday morning confirmed the most important fact for the community: the three girls were safe.
