Nashville police found a New Jersey woman alive after she got separated from her friend on Lower Broadway, kicking off an early morning search for her.
Officers focused their search for 33-year-old Alexandria Chmiel around the Cumberland riverbank at First Avenue North and Woodland Street, the department said on X, the site formerly known as Twitter.
Chmiel, around 9 a.m., walked up to the area where police were staged for the search.
Chmiel became separated from her friend at Third Avenue and Broadway before 2 a.m. Thursday, police said. She was reported missing shortly before 3:45 a.m.
Still photographs of video surveillance show Chmiel walking through a crosswalk alone. She’s wearing jeans and a black top, and she appears to be carrying a purse in one hand and shoes in the other. In another photo, she’s passing a lone pickup truck parked along First Avenue.
