A woman reported missing by her mother has turned up safe and well - on the reality TV show 'The Bachelor'.
Police in Humboldt County, California, posted an appeal for help finding 22-year-old Rebekah Martinez.
Her mother said she had last heard from her on November 12 when Rebekah called from a friend's number to say "she was going to work on a marijuana farm and would see her in seven to eight days".
Rebekah's mother reported her missing after not hearing from her around November 18.
She remained on a list of missing people when her local newspaper the North Coast Journal posted a round-up appeal this week.

And an eagle-eyed reader who spotted the appeal on Facebook felt like she recognised the picture of Rebekah immediately.
She called police and there was a woman called Bekeh M. who looked a lot like the 'missing' woman competing in the 22nd series of 'The Bachelor'.
The reality TV series, now in its 22nd run in the US, involves a group of 25 women competing for the affections of one lucky one in a series of glamorous locations.

It was filmed during September, October and November, when Rebekah was reported missing but didn't air until January.
Police confirmed they have now finally got in touch with Rebekah and she is no longer missing.
Bekah, who now has 167,000 followers on Instagram, made light of the situation on her page.
She posted an image of her 'missing appeal' on a milk carton adding: "found myself, quite literally, on this season of The Bachelor. PSA: always call your mom back."
