The Portland Police Bureau is in a critical search for a missing teenager, Phoebe Vangorder, who was last seen on the morning of Wednesday, May 22. The 16-year-old girl disappeared from her home near Northeast Thompson Street and Northeast 108th Avenue in the Parkrose Heights neighborhood, igniting serious concern among her family and police due to her age and undisclosed medical conditions.
The call for public assistance was issued after the initial search proved fruitless. Officials are urging anyone with information on her whereabouts to immediately contact the PPB.
