(CNN) -- An 8-year-old Idaho girl, missing more than six weeks after three people were found beaten to death in her mother's home, has been found alive, a police official said Saturday.
Shasta Groene was found at about 2 a.m. (4 a.m. ET), a spokesman for the Kootenai County (Idaho) Sheriff's Department said.
Kootenai County Sheriff's Department spokesman Capt. Ben Wolfinger said Shasta was found in the company of a North Dakota man, who was taken into custody.
Shasta's brother, 9-year-old Dylan, has not been located, but her great aunt, Sue Torres, told CNN that "Shasta's probably going to take us to him."
"The only thing I really know is that a waitress at a Denny's restaurant in Coeur d'Alene recognized her."
Shasta is in a hospital, and "she wants her daddy," Torres said.
The children have been missing since May 16, when their mother, a brother and the mother's boyfriend were found beaten to death in the mother's home.
A memorial service was held May 25 for 40-year-old Brenda Groene and 13-year-old Slade Groene.
Authorities said they and 37-year-old Mark McKenzie died from blunt-force trauma to the head. The last time they were seen was May 15, when they had a Sunday get-together with friends at the home.
Police have said they have no suspects in the deaths or the children's disappearance.
"We've always believed that if they were going to kill everybody in the house, they would have killed them and left them there," Wolfinger said in May. "But they didn't."
Authorities are offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to the return of the children or information that could lead to those responsible for their abduction. In addition, Kootenai County posted a $7,500 reward. (Full story)
An Amber Alert initially was issued for the children but was canceled because of the lack of new information in the case for five days.
Authorities described Dylan as 4 feet tall, 60 pounds, with crew-cut blond hair and blue eyes.
