A woman visiting Nashville from New Jersey was found alive after having “emerged” from a riverbank, according to police.
After an exhaustive search by both the Nashville Metropolitan Police (NMPD) and Nashville Fire Department going into Thursday morning, 33-year-old Alexandria Chmiel was discovered.
“BREAKING: Allie Chmiel has emerged from the riverbank and is talking with our [investigative] team,” wrote the Nashville Metropolitan Police Department on X.
One commenter on X wrote, “Thank God! She was lucky.”
Chmiel was visiting Music City from New Jersey with a friend when she went missing early the morning of July 25.
