'Kristin arrived home on her own safety late last night,' she wrote. 'The family is grateful and exhausted and ask for privacy as we as a family celebrate her safe return.

'Thank you to the Wilmington Police Department and the public for all the support over the last few days.'

Neither Coxe nor the police revealed any information about where Glass had been for the last four days, or why she had taken off without an explanation in the first place. 

DailyMail.com reached out to the police department, seeking to shed light on the woman's unexplained disappearance and return.   

During the search for Glass, Topsail Beach Police Chief Samuel Gervase told The Port City Daily she may have thrown her cell from her car window because she was afraid someone was tracking her using the GPS. 

Wilmington Police Department has not confirmed that theory, adding: 'We stand by our statement that we will not comment on the investigative leads we’re following.'

Glass was first reported missing on Monday evening. 

Surveillance footage taken 45 minutes before he phone was found by a local homeowner shows Glass alone 'and not under duress' inside a Wilmington bank at 3pm, according to Gervase.   

Police spokesperson Jessica Williams said: 'Detectives are taking this case very seriously and following various leads.'

The HS2 money pit: Ministers are told first stage of high-speed rail line may cost another £800m... six months after a budget increase saw total costs soar by £20.6bn to £43billion

Ministers have been told that Phase One of controversial rail line HS2 could cost £800million more than planned. It comes just six months after a budget increase saw total predicted costs for the first stage of the high-speed line soar by £20.6billion to £43billion.

He revealed he would discuss the subject with Education Secretary Gavin Williamson after MPs expressed concerns about children being kept at home for ten days – even after a negative PCR test – because a member of their classroom bubble has been infected. It came as the Children’s Commissioner told how pupils had experienced ‘real trauma’ during successive lockdowns.
