MIDLAND CITY, Ala. (WDHN)—The search for two teens who went missing last week is over.

Austin Barefield, 15, from Newton, and 17-year-old Violet Gray from Bay County, Florida, went missing on Thursday, April 18.

Barfield’s family confirmed to WDHN that the teens had been hiding in the local woods and were found after going to a family friend’s home on Tuesday for food and shelter.

Midland City Police say Gray had driven from Bay County to Midland City in a Nissan Rogue to meet up with Barefield before abandoning the car.

Three things we learned about Apple's AI plans from its earnings
Apple CEO Tim Cook didn't give much away about the company's AI plans on Thursday's Q2 earnings call with investors, but he did confirm a few tidbits about how the tech giant plans to move forward with artificial intelligence. Notably, his comments suggested that despite spending more than $100 billion on R&D over the last five years, Apple isn't planning to spin up too many new data centers to run or train AI models. While we've known this for some time — after all, Apple has been calling its M3 MacBook Airs the "best consumer laptop for AI" — the company shouted out on its earnings call how AI is being used across its products.
