By Alex Robinson

Police have found a missing Whitestone woman who disappeared May 9.

Natalie Rodrigues, 34, was picked up within the confines of the 17th Precinct in midtown Manhattan after detectives reached out to her on Facebook, police said.

She had last been seen by her mother outside her home, according to the NYPD.

Her disappearance caused alarm in the Whitestone community as weeks earlier a man unsuccessfully tried to abduct a teenager in his car in neighboring College Point, according to police.
