Alexis Jones-Rhodes, the 22-year-old Clark Atlanta University student who went missing on her way to graduation, has been found safe, a suburban Atlanta police department revealed.
DeKalb County (Ga.) Police say Alexis-Jones Rhodes has been located safe in Illinois. No foul play is suspected and no further details have been released.
Jones-Rhodes, had been missing since she drove away from her Decatur, Georgia home during the early morning hours of Monday, May 18, 2015.
She left wearing her cap and gown and told her family she was headed to sign in to commencement activities but when her family arrived to watch her walk across the stage, she wasn’t there.
To worsen the family’s hysteria, CAU has since revealed that Jones-Rhodes wasn’t even eligible to graduate, so she would not have participated in this year’s commencement ceremony to begin with.
Clark-Atlanta University released a statement saying it was ‘highly unlikely’ that the cap and gown Jones-Rhodes had was ordered through the school, Fox5 reported.
‘The University’s cap and gown orders are generated based upon ELIGIBILITY to graduate,’ it explained.
“We know that Ms. Jones-Rhodes’ name was not on the official list forwarded for 2015 commencement orders. We also have no record of her having paid the fees to cover that purchase.”
Jones-Rhodes’ mother, Nicole Johnson, told the station that she has been put through a funnel cloud of extreme emotions the last few days.
‘It’s been awful,’ she said as she spoke to Fox5. ‘It’s taken a lot out of me and it’s taken a lot just to stand up here.’
