ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - An investigation by Florida authorities has found that there were no credible threats to a teenager who ran away from her Ohio home because she says she feared for her life after converting to Christianity from Islam.

A summary of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigation into Rifqa Bary's (RIF'-kuh BEHR'-ee) allegations was unsealed Monday. The probe found no reports of threats against Bary in Florida or Ohio.

The 17-year-old girl is in foster care in Orlando, where a judge is deciding whether she should be returned to Ohio.

The girl ran away from her parents' suburban Columbus home in July, saying she feared being killed for changing religions.
