A 62-year-old woman and her 10-year-old daughter have not been seen since they reportedly walked away from their northwest Harris County home on foot, leaving their belongings behind. Tammy Riley and her daughter, Aubrey Artmore, were last seen in the 11600 block of Abloom Way, in the Bammel Trace subdivision off Bammel North Houston Road.
Harris County Constable Precinct 4, led by Constable Mark Herman, is leading the search for the pair, according to Mark Herman, Harris County Constable Precinct 4. The case has been logged under case number 2608-00635, and Herman is asking anyone who spots Riley or Artmore, or who has information about where they might be, to contact dispatch immediately at 281-376-3472.
What We Know So Far
Details about the disappearance remain limited. Riley reportedly left the residence on foot with her daughter, leaving their belongings behind, per the constable's office post. No timeline for when the pair was last seen has been released beyond the location on Abloom Way, and no further circumstances behind their departure have been made public.
The Bammel Trace neighborhood sits in Houston's 77066 ZIP code, an area built up mostly with single-family homes and townhomes constructed between 2014 and 2017, near the Champions Green area. Precinct 4, the agency spearheading the search, is the largest constable's office in the nation, with more than 670 sworn members covering over 1.2 million residents across unincorporated communities including Spring, Klein, Tomball, and Cypress.
Why No Amber Or Clear Alert Has Been Issued
No public emergency alert, such as an AMBER or CLEAR Alert, appears to have been activated in connection with the case. Texas maintains six separate alert networks for missing persons through the Department of Public Safety, but each carries strict statutory triggers that only investigating agencies can request.
An AMBER Alert requires law enforcement to confirm an abduction has occurred and that a minor faces immediate danger of death or serious bodily harm, under guidelines from the Houston Regional AMBER Alert System detailed by the Texas Center for the Missing. The CLEAR Alert system, created under a 2019 state law, targets missing adults between 18 and 64 believed to be in imminent danger, filling the gap between AMBER Alerts for children and Silver Alerts for seniors 65 and older. Without confirmed evidence meeting those thresholds, a case like this one may proceed as a standard missing-persons search rather than a broadcast alert.
A County With A High Volume Of Missing-Persons Cases
Harris County logs a heavy caseload of missing-persons reports each year. In 2025, law enforcement agencies countywide received 6,357 new missing child reports and 3,327 new missing adult reports, according to data compiled by the Texas Center for the Missing. The 14-county Houston-Galveston region alone accounted for 34 percent of all missing adult cases and 28 percent of all missing child cases registered statewide that year.
Statewide, Texas DPS recorded 40,309 missing person entries into the FBI's National Crime Information Center in 2025, including 28,229 children and 12,080 adults. Under state guidelines, investigating agencies are required to enter missing person details into the Texas Missing Persons Clearinghouse, NCIC, and NamUs databases no later than 60 days after a report is received.
For now, anyone with information about Tammy Riley or Aubrey Artmore's whereabouts is urged to contact Precinct 4 dispatch. No additional updates on the investigation have been released.
