Minnesota authorities say they have located two teen-aged sisters from Lakeville, Minn., who have been missing for more than two years.
The girls were found Wednesday at a horse ranch in western Minnesota.
Gianna and Samantha Rucki, now 16 and 17 years old respectively, hadn't been seen in public since April 2013 after disappearing in a custody dispute.
"Both Samantha and Gianna were found safe and in seemingly good health," according to a statement from Lakeville police. Police say the girls will return to Dakota County.

The girls' mother, Sandra Grazzini-Rucki, was arrested last month in Florida but has declined to provide information on their whereabouts to investigators.
Grazzini-Rucki is in the Dakota County jail after her arrest on charges of felony deprivation of parental rights.
In November 2013, a Dakota County judge granted David Rucki full custody of his children.
