8/20/15 UPDATE- We received the following from the Broome County Sheriff's Office:

The Broome County Sheriff’s Office, with the assistance of the Endicott Police Department, located Rebecca Shackelton, a 15 year old female runaway.  On July 29, 2015 it was reported to the Broome County Sheriff’s Office that Shackelton had run away from a Broome County group home while on a friend visit.  Shackelton was located with a 16 year old male acquaintance at an undisclosed location in the Village of Endicott on August 20.  The 16 year old male was found to have an active Family Court Warrant and both subjects were turned over to the Broome County Sheriff’s Office Juvenile Detective.  Broome County Sheriff’s Office Detectives transported both subjects to Broome Family Court where the 16 year old male was turned over to the custody of the court.  Shackelton was then transported to the Village of Bainbridge where she was returned to her legal guardian, Otsego County Department of Social Services.  The investigation revealed that Shackelton was not endangered or harmed during the timeframe and was willingly in the company of the 16 year old acquaintance.
