Missing Kenyan Brand Manager Found Safe After Week-Long Search.
Police found Lilian Nyambura Mbugua alive at a gas station in Murang'a, Kenya. The 28-year-old woman vanished from her mother's home last week. She worked as a brand manager at East Africa Breweries Limited.
A local official, Gitonga Murungi, said she turned up early Tuesday morning. Medical staff checked her at a nearby clinic. They said she seemed troubled.
Her discovery brought relief to worried family members. They had put up posters all over town asking for help finding her.
The hunt began on December 23. Two days earlier, Mbugua went to her mom's house for Christmas. The visit started well. She went to church with her family on Sunday. They shared happy meals the next day.
She left the gated community around 5 p.m. Her uncle George Njuguna said she walked out wearing house clothes. "She had on a head scarf and slippers," he told reporters. Her mom worked in the backyard at the time.
The family tried calling her phone, but they found both devices at home. She left behind her car, laptop, and all her papers.
They told the police the next day. Later, detectives learned about three calls she made before she disappeared. The family waited anxiously for more news.
Her safe return ends a scary week for her loved ones. Police plan to talk with her about what happened during the days she went missing.
