A woman who was reported missing over the weekend has been found safe in the Tampa Bay area, according to the Broward Sheriff's Office.

Detectives said Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office deputies located Summer Leo, 30, on Tuesday in the 12900 block of South U.S. 301 in Riverview, Florida.

BSO said it is not known if Leo, a mother of three children, went willingly. Investigators said it is also not clear how deputies found them at that address, which comes back to a restaurant in Riverview. 

Mom speaks out

Earlier in the day, CBS News Miami spoke with Summer's mother and she was desperate to find her daughter.

"We're all devastated; we're all angry. We are all confused," said Linda Leo.

"I love her and I want her to come home. I just want her to call me. Call me and let me know she is OK."

Summer's mom had worried this was suspicious because she said Summer had left all of her IDs behind and only took her phone with her.

Man detained for questioning

Leo was with 39-year-old Timothy Bowman, who was detained by deputies for questioning.

Authorities said the investigation into Leo's disappearance remains ongoing.

A missing persons alert was issued after Leo was last seen around shortly before 7 p.m. Sunday, July 20, leaving the Target store at 3200 North Federal Highway in Fort Lauderdale.

She was observed entering a white BMW M340i with Florida tag AH34SK, which detectives said is registered to Bowman.
