Oregon State Police distributed an Amber Alert on Wednesday afternoon from Nampa, Idaho police for an endangered 10-year-old girl apparently heading to Portland with her mother. Less than an hour later, they reported she’d been found safe in Cheney, Washington.
Alissa Helmandollar was last seen at a Nampa hotel Tuesday afternoon with her mother, Brooke A. Helmandollar , 41.
It was believed they left the Nampa Tuesday night or Wednesday morning and “are possibly headed to the Portland area,” police said in a news release.
“It is believed that Alissa may be in danger due to Brooke’s recent threatening behavior towards Alissa,” the news release said.
Just before 4 p.m., police posted an update, saying the girl “has been located safe out of state.” No other details were immediately released.
