Missing woman discovered alive having 'emerged' from downtown Nashville riverbank: police

A New Jersey woman visiting Nashville was discovered alive on a riverbank hours after having gone missing during a night out with a friend downtown.

A woman visiting Nashville from New Jersey was found alive after having "emerged" from a riverbank, according to police.

After an exhaustive search by both the Nashville Metropolitan Police (NMPD) and Nashville Fire Department going into Thursday morning, 33-year-old Alexandria Chmiel was discovered.

"BREAKING: Allie Chmiel has emerged from the riverbank and is talking with our [investigative] team," wrote the Nashville Metropolitan Police Department on X.

One commenter on X wrote, "Thank God! She was lucky."

Chmiel was visiting Music City from New Jersey with a friend when she went missing early the morning of July 25.

"Officers are searching around the riverbank at 1st & Woodland for Alexandria Chmiel, 33, who is visiting from NJ," wrote the NMPD in an earlier X post. 

"She became separated from her friend at 3rd & Broadway before 2 a.m. & was reported missing at 3:42 a.m. She is last seen on downtown cameras at 1st & Woodland," the post continued.

The Nashville Fire Department's search included drone and rope operations in the hopes of discovering Chmeil.

At Chmeil's discovery, the NFD posted on X, "the best news we could’ve had!! The missing person has been located! NFD crews are assessing her on scene and preparing to transport her to the hospital."

In a call with Fox News Digital, a spokesperson for the Nashville Metropolitan Police Department said "detectives were on the scene and spoke to her. No foul play was involved. She did not sustain any serious injury and was taken to the hospital for evaluation… and that was just as a precaution."
