Police find missing woman who had left friend’s home in distress

Police say they found the 51-year-old woman who was visiting from out of town and left her friend’s home in distress Saturday, authorities said.

Rebeca Beracasa, 51, had traveled to Miami and was at a friend’s home in the 14600 block of SW 60th Terrace when she had an argument with family, according to a statement. Before she left, she made suicidal statements, the statement said.

Miami-Dade police on Saturday afternoon canceled the missing-person alert for Beracasa, saying she had been located.

Miami Herald staff writer Douglas Hanks contributed to this report.
