The mother heard from Ms. Martinez late in the afternoon on the same day she filed the missing person report, the sheriff’s office said. Still, investigators were unable to get in touch with Ms. Martinez. Finally, at 2:59 p.m. on Thursday, Ms. Martinez returned the deputy’s call, confirming she was alive and well. She was removed from the system, the sheriff’s office said, though her missing person’s report remained online until Friday afternoon. All the while, Ms. Martinez has been publicly active on Instagram and Twitter.
