Police said no further details will be released. Officials with Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, located southeast of London, said a missing woman was found there and they declined further comment.
Friends and family of Da Silva, who urged residents across several Southwestern Ontario counties to leave their porch lights on in support of the search, were elated she has been found and is safe.
“I am so happy! Jenny has been found safe!” Steph Vandeven, a longtime friend of Da Silva’s, posted on social media. “Thank you to everyone for anything you did to help bring Jenny home safely!”
Da Silva, a funeral director, finished work at a Woodstock funeral home at about 3 p.m. on July 5.
Security cameras captured her leaving the parking lot in her vehicle. Da Silva sent a text to one of her two daughters about 15 minutes later, near Burford, but she never made it home.
Brantford police issued a news release about Da Silva’s disappearance on Monday and appealed to the public for help in locating her. Friends knocked on doors along Da Silva’s typical route home between Woodstock and Brantford, and spread awareness through posters and social media.
