UPDATED 03/07/11 3:10 p.m.

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. (CBS) -- UPDATE: A missing 16-year-old girl from Schaumburg has been found safe on Chicago's Southwest Side.

The girl was reported missing last Wednesday by her mother after the teen girl did not come home from school, according to a Schaumburg police release. On Monday, police said she was located at a hotel in the 7770 block of South Cicero with a 27-year old male.

Police said their investigation continues.

On Sunday, police said there is "absolutely no evidence" the girl is the victim of foul play and indications are she left home on her own initiative.

The girl sent a text message to her mother last Wednesday indicating she was staying after school, the release said. Phone records indicate she used her cell phone after school in the Schaumburg and Hanover Park areas.

Police were informed an acquaintance dropped the girl off at a train station so she could travel to Chicago, the release said.

Officials were looking into an online relationship the girl has with a Chicago man in his early 20s.
