A 25-year-old Morristown woman has been found alive exactly a month after she disappeared, authorities said.

Imani Glover was located Tuesday as a result of "the extensive cooperative efforts" of several law enforcement agencies, the Morris County Prosecutor's Office said in a statement Wednesday.

The statement did not say where or how Glover was found. Meghan Knab, a spokeswoman for the prosecutor, said the agency couldn't provide more details because the investigation was ongoing.

Imani Glover, 25, of Morristown, was last seen in New York City Jan. 4.

A second woman, Destiny Owens, 29, of East Orange, was reported missing Dec. 24 and was believed to be with Glover, authorities had previously said.

East Orange Police are still "unable to locate" Owens, the city's public information officer, Connie Jackson, said Wednesday afternoon.

Glover provided an apartment address in the Bronx where Owens was allegedly last seen, Jackson said, but police did not find her when they searched the building Tuesday night.

Glover's mother, Shantia, took to Facebook Wednesday to express her gratitude for all who had helped look for her daughter.

"Special thanks to my support system (you know who you are)," she wrote in the short post. "Imani has been reunited with me. I truly appreciate everything you all have done."

The Morristown and New York City police departments worked with the Morris prosecutor's Missing Persons Unit to find Glover, who was reported missing by her mother Jan. 8. She had last been seen by a family member on Jan. 4 in Lower Manhattan, authorities said.

During the month-long search, police also reported that Glover and Owens had been seen near Newark Penn Station and that Glover had missed two court hearings in recent weeks. The court case involved "charges relating to controlled dangerous substances, hindering and tampering," the Morris prosecutor's office said last month.
