The search for a missing endangered teen who was last seen in Portland has finally come to an end. Phoebe Vangorder, the 16-year-old girl, has been located, authorities confirmed today. Vangorder had been missing since Wednesday morning, and there were concerns regarding her safety due to her undisclosed medical condition.

Before she was found, Vangorder was last seen around 10 a.m. on May 22 at her home in the Parkrose Heights neighborhood. The Portland Police Bureau's Missing Persons Unit had issued an alert and had been earnestly seeking public assistance to help find the teen. At the time, Portland Police described her as a Black female, approximately 5'5" in height and weighing around 130 pounds, and with a sort of urgency that suggested she could be in danger.

The officials have not disclosed the circumstances surrounding how and where Vangorder was located. They remained tight-lipped, only confirming that the teen had been found and was safe. Authorities and Phoebe’s family had shared a growing concern due to the critical nature of her medical issues, which added a layer of immediacy to the extensive citywide search.

Details of Vangorder's discovery and condition are currently under wraps, but her family and the investigators involved have expressed relief. After facing heightened tensions and worry over her absence, the Portland community and beyond rallied to locate Phoebe. The Portland Police are likely to provide updates on the case after seeing the community with patience for an outcome that thankfully proved to be positive.
