Ataui Deng, the missing 22-year-old model whom Rihanna started an appeal to find, has been located alive in a New York City hospital.

While details of Ataui’s condition have not been released, she went missing two weeks ago, on August 6th.

Conflicting sources say she was seen two days later with her boyfriend Grant Morrison, so her disappearance is still very much shrouded in mystery, though we’re just happy to hear the River Island model has been found.

Rihanna tweeted on Monday, writing, “If any one has any information on this young lady's whereabouts, please call the NYPD or email findataui@gmail.com,” alongside a picture of herself and Ataui.

Jourdan Dunn also joined the search via Instagram, writing, “MISSING: Ataui Deng has been missing for 10 days,she was last seen in the Lower east side of NYC. She is 5'10 and slim. If you see her please contact NYPD missing persons or FindAtaui@gmail.com Thank you.”
