A missing South Carolina teen was found dead on Monday in a creek after leaving a note that she would return soon.

Jamie Lee Allison Margas, 18, went missing on Friday morning from her home in York County, South Carolina, news station WSOC reported.

She reportedly left her parents a note saying that she was going out and would be back in five hours.

Police said a tip led them to a wooded area where Margas’ body was found around 11 a.m. Monday. The location was minutes away from the Northwestern High School student’s home.

An autopsy has been ordered to determine the exact cause of death, but no foul play is suspected, according to investigators.

“It’s not the outcome that anybody wanted from this,” said Trent Farris, spokesman for York County Sheriff’s Office, at a press conference.
