The search for a missing Forsyth-area girl ended early Friday morning when she was found in a rancher's garage.
Rosebud County Sheriff Randy Allies says Storme Palmer, 17, was found by a rancher at about 6:45 Friday morning, about 10 miles away from her house. He tells us Palmer had an argument with her mother and ran away.
She suffers from a genetic disorder and has developmental delays and Sheriff Allies says Palmer is in good condition and had water and shelter while she was missing.
Searchers had been looking for her since Tuesday, when she ran away from her home southeast of Forsyth. Her parents say in the past she would run away and wait to be found, but that she had never been gone overnight.
About 60 people searched for Palmer on Thursday.
There's good news coming out of Rosebud County on Friday morning.

Sheriff Randy Allies tells us Storme Palmer, 17, walked into a farmer's house around 6:45 a.m.
There's no word at this time on her condition. Palmer was reported missing on Tuesday afternoon after wandering off from her home.
