I don't remember them saying they found it. I don't speak a lot of Spanish but can understand some. The subtitles help and it sounded to me like he gave LE access to his phone plan for them to dig into her phone remotely.

The post said evidence collected from search and digital evidence has "provided hope for a break in the case and continue to be the best investigative resource thus far."

Missing 12-year-old Hall County girl found in Ohio with man she met online

Hall County Sheriff Gerald Couch said she'd been communicating with the suspect on Facebook Messenger.

Some additional info.
So glad she was found!

He says Maria met Antonio Agustin, a Guatemalan native, online and began chatting with him and other adult men through Facebook Messenger. She told Agustin that she was unhappy and wanted to leave home.

On May 29, Agustin drove from his Ohio home to Gainesville to pick Maria up and take her back to northeast Ohio, where investigators believe they have been since.

The sheriff went on to say that they found her after she made another Facebook account and messaged her father to let him know that she was fine, but wasn’t coming home and wanted him to stop looking for her.

Investigators were able to use the IP address from that message to track down the phone number and Maria’s location.
