A boy missing from his Swan home since Monday afternoon was found safe Wednesday morning.

Marion County Sheriff Jason Sandholdt tells KNIA/KRLS News that 13-year-old Dalton Joseph Tucker was found at Jordan Creek Mall in Des Moines.

Search efforts began Tuesday afternoon and focused on Marion, Warren, and Polk Counties. Sandholdt says Dalton was reportedly picked up by a stranger at one point.
