Eckmann went missing on Monday after she failed to return to the facility following a job-seeking furlough.

Officials said her electronic monitoring device was found in north Lincoln near 44th and Superior streets.

Eckmann started her sentence in July 2024 when she was sentenced between two years and six months to seven years for criminal possession of four or more financial transaction devices and possession of a controlled substance.
