Haylee Elizabeth Jade Donathan was found safe at a Christian commune near San Diego, 10TV News reported.

Haylee was being held by Child Protection Services in San Diego County.

Her mother, Candace Watson and her boyfriend, Robbie Potter, were in the San Diego County Jail.

News of Haylee's recovery was announced at press conference in Mansfield late Tuesday night by Peter J. Elliott, the U.S. Marshal for the Northern District of Ohio. Standing next to Elliott at the press conference was Mary Watson, Haylee's grandmother, who had been granted emergency custody of Haylee after the girl's disappearance.

"I never lost hope at all, I knew these U.S. Marshals were doing their job and that they would be found," Mary Watson said.

Elliott said Haylee, Candace Watson and Potter were discovered at the Morning Star Ranch in Valley Center, Calif., about 50 miles north of downtown San Diego. Elliott said Haylee may have a case of chicken pox but is otherwise healthy. Candace Watson and Potter were arrested without incident.

Elliott said a tip from someone in California who saw a billboard with Haylee's picture led to the child's discovery. Elliott said both Candace Watson and Potter had changed their appearance since leaving Ohio.

"Candace had dyed her hair a little darker and Robbie had changed his appearance a bit," Elliot said.

Potter, 27, left a Mansfield halfway house on May 28 with the help Watson, according to the Richland County Northern Ohio violent Fugitive Task Force.

Three days after he left the halfway house, security cameras spotted Potter at a Wal-Mart store in Marion and was believed to be traveling with Candace Watson, 24, and Haylee.

Donathan was considered to be in serious danger because Potter is a Tier III sex offender for sex crimes against a minor.  He is wanted for a parole violation and on a federal warrant for probation violation.

Elliott said Haylee would be returned to Ohio to her grandmother's custody.

"I just want to hold her so bad and see her," Mary Watson said. "I just want her home."
