The case of a missing Cartersville woman could soon be closed, said this morning.

Millsap said 30-year-old Wazineh Suleiman is alive and well, but does not want her location disclosed. Investigators have interviewed the mother of five, apparently to determine if she is a victim of any crimes.

A sheriff in another Georgia county located the woman, who had not been since Friday about 9 p.m. and her husband, Abed, had reported her missing. He was never a suspect or person of interest.

Millsap added he would not disclose Wazineh's location to anyone, including her family, because the woman is an adult, is in no danger and could contact members of her family as she sees fit.

Wazineh's parents are in the country and have been in contact with Millsap. She was born in Israel.
