PITTSBURGH —
There's plenty of relief after missing 17-year-old Kayla Durler was found safe Saturday afternoon in Downtown Pittsburgh. A local organization, Jamie's Dream Team, organized a search party and one of those volunteers is who spotted her.

"I was just very joyous, very thankful, very appreciative, and appreciative of the police and all they did to look for her and help organize and coordinate with Jamie's Dream team so that we were able to be in the community," Rebecca Bykoski said.

Kayla had been missing since Friday morning after she was dropped off at Sto-Rox High School. School was closed due to a utilities emergency, but a miscommunication led to her still being dropped off. Shortly after, Kayla boarded a PRT bus and headed Downtown. She was seen about three hours later, getting off at Stanwix Street. That was the last sighting of Kayla until she was found by Rebecca Bykoski.

Jamie’s Dream Team mission is to offer hope when there is little, to ease the burden caused by serious illness, injury, disability, trauma, or catastrophic events and to finally celebrate individual differences by acknowledging dreams as possibilities.
