An Endangered Missing Advisory issued for a 37-year-old Blanchard woman has been canceled after she was located safe. Meagan Pollock was reported missing after she was last seen around noon Monday near Southwest 74th Street and Western Avenue.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol activated the advisory on behalf of the Blanchard Police Department, according to KOCO, which reported that Pollock was believed to be traveling in a gray 2021 Nissan Rogue bearing Oklahoma tag number NIA735. Authorities described Pollock as about 5 feet 5 inches tall and 120 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes, though they did not have a description of her clothing at the time the advisory went out.
Details of the Alert
The advisory concerned Pollock's disappearance. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol activated it on behalf of the Blanchard Police Department.
The Blanchard Police Department, which requested the advisory's activation, is led by Interim Police Chief Dan Haney and Deputy Chief Steve Swinford, operating out of headquarters at 122 N. Main Street, according to the City of Blanchard. Blanchard sits across McClain and Grady counties, a considerable distance from the commercial stretch of South Oklahoma City where Pollock was last seen.
Advisory Canceled After Pollock Found Safe
The advisory was ultimately lifted after Pollock was found safe. People with information about her whereabouts had been asked to call 911 while the search remained active.
How Oklahoma's Missing Person Alert System Works
The Oklahoma Missing Persons Clearinghouse, a division of the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, assists agencies and serves as a liaison with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. Under the state's Francine's Law, enacted in 2019, agencies are required to enter all missing person cases into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System within 30 days. The law was named for Francine Frost, who went missing in 1981; her remains were found two years later, but took more than 30 years to identify as hers.
AMBER Alerts concern children under 18 who have been abducted and are in imminent danger, with enough descriptive information to assist the public, according to the 107.3 PopCrush report on the state's guidelines.
Part of a Statewide Pattern
Pollock's case adds to a string of Endangered Missing Advisories activated across the Oklahoma City metro area in recent weeks, including searches for an OKC teen and a Del City man covered previously by Hoodline. TheTravel described Oklahoma as having the highest percentage of missing people in 2024. The Kasey Alert took effect at the end of 2023, adding another public alert tool beyond the traditional AMBER Alert framework.
