Authorities confirmed Thursday that Natalie Nat D. DiDonato, a cast member of Mob Wives, had been found safely in Nevada, ending a brief hunt for the reality TV personality.
On Wednesday, the woman called her mother, Denise Fuoco, to reassure her that she was fine and that she was not being detained against her choice.
“My daughter’s been found,” Fuoco said on Wednesday to NBC News. “At the moment, she is alright. Our goal is to bring her home.
In a statement released on Thursday, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department announced that it has concluded its search for DiDonato.
The LVMPD declared, “This case has been closed,” “We are no longer looking for the individual.”
The department was looking for DiDonato, who was reported missing, earlier Wednesday, according to a spokesperson.
Family members claimed they had no idea why she had gone missing for a few days.
Fuoco stated, “No, she wasn’t particularly interested in discussing it.” “I didn’t push anything, because I m pretty sure she might hang up.”
According to sister Janae DiDonato, DiDonato was supposed to be in Philadelphia lately before her family found out she was in Las Vegas.
She was in Philadelphia, I discovered. Her plan was to return home to Florida from Philadelphia. “She didn’t board that flight,” the sister told NBC News, adding that late last week, investigators discovered documents showing DiDonato staying at a hotel in Las Vegas.
“After that, we discovered she was in Vegas. Since we didn’t know anyone who was aware that she would be in Vegas, we didn’t think it was real. We were unaware that she had contacts in Vegas.
In Season 5 of Mob Wives, which ran on VH1 from 2011 to 2016, DiDonato, a cousin of the deceased mobster Frank Frankie Flowers D. Alfonso, made an appearance.
On the show, she was frequently referred to as “Nat D”—possibly to set herself apart from Natalie Guercio, another character. On Instagram, Guercio informed followers that she was not the individual who had been reported missing.
Five weeks ago, DiDonato wrote on Instagram that she was content with her weight loss of 10 pounds and that she was pleased to be 44.
“Getting older is a blessing, can t believe I made it this far,” she said. “I m embracing my age because to me it s a badge of honor to have made it to 44.”
