The mother of a former Love & Hip Hop Atlanta star who was believed to have been kidnapped from her home Wednesday evening was found unharmed this morning.

Investigators say 54-year-old Kimberly Moore, whose daughter, Chavante 'Che' Mack, appeared on Season 2 of the hit VH1 reality show about Atlanta’s hip hop industry, was found safe in her other residence in Cobb County.

Moore was not injured. She was being taken to police headquarters for an interview as part of an ongoing investigation. Police have not released any additional details about where Moore had been, or how they found her.

Detectives suspected that Moore had been abducted from her property in DeKlab County between 7 and 7.45pm. When officers responded to the house on Maplewood Drive, they found it ransacked, with both the front and back doors ajar.
