(NewsNation) — Marlene Lopez, a 52-year-old woman reported missing on Wednesday, was discovered safely just before noon Thursday, trapped in a shipping container near a business in Cocoa, Florida, according to law enforcement.

She was found unharmed but was taken to the hospital for evaluation and potential dehydration.

Lopez was last seen at her residence on Monday. Concern arose when she failed to pick up her son, prompting a coworker to notify authorities. Detectives initiated a search, interviewing family members and issuing a missing person bulletin.

During the investigation, it was revealed that Lopez had been located after being trapped in the shipping container. She had been banging on the container’s door when someone heard her and unlocked it. The circumstances leading to her confinement remain under investigation.
