VANCOUVER, Wash — Vancouver police are asking the public to help them find a vehicle of interest in the case of a 17-year-old girl who was found safe in Portland on Sunday night, hours after she was reported missing.

Police described the vehicle as a 2000's model black sedan.

The girl left her home sometime after 7 a.m. Sunday to walk to work at Kitchen Table on Northeast 136th Avenue in Vancouver, Washington. She texted her family that she arrived at work around 7:30 a.m. but employees said she never showed up. Some of her personal items were found near her work, suggesting she was in the area, police said.

At around 8:30 p.m. Sunday, the girl was found in Portland, near Southeast 77 Avenue between Southeast Woodward Street and Southeast Tibbetts Street. The area was unfamiliar to her, police said.

Anyone who has information or was near any of those locations can email Detective Dewey at james.dewey@cityofvancouver.us or Sergeant Julie Ballou at Julie.ballou@cityofvancouver.us.
