Steven Drodz, the 16-year-old daughter of The Flaming Lips, has been found safe.
Drodz’s daughter, Charlotte “Bowie” Drozd, was reported missing on Monday and Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne shared a missing poster of her to his social media account on October 7.
TMZ confirms that Charlotte has now been found. Seattle police confirmed the news to the media outlet, noting that she is not a “runaway.”
“[Charlotte “Bowie” Drozd] has been located and is safe with her family,” police said.
