Joanne Laurin, who had been missing since April 22, was located by family members in Prince Albert, police say.

Laurin, 25, was last seen May 3 in Prince Albert. She was found safe on May 19.

Laurin is one of two women who were sought by concerned family members. 

There's no word on the other missing woman, 42-year-old Happy Charles from La Ronge, Sask.

The families joined their efforts together last week, which they hoped would yield better results.

Charles was last seen April 3 in Prince Albert. Video shows Charles at Walmart with her boyfriend.

She has not been spotted since. Charles' mother, Regina Poitras, told CBC  last week that she fears the worst and expressed concerns the search is a recovery mission.
