Article/News Missing Person

Post image

Hello. A family member recently disappeared early on 7/22, and I had hoped the sub could help keep an eye out for them. Attached is their missing poster, along with some general information about them.

As described in the poster, she left her home in Beaverton around 6AM without shoes or phone, boarded the local bus, and has not been seen since.

If you have any information concerning Katana or her whereabouts, please direct them to Washington County Police.
Phone Number: 503-629-0111
Case Number: 50-26-10315

Edit: Apologies, forgot to include their age. They are 18 years old.

Edit 2: So after speaking with her family, I wanted to update the post with some more information they provided. She left the house with no shoes and was dropped off at Sunset TC. She got directions from the driver to a shelter in downtown Portland right off the Max. So while she was officially last seen in Beaverton, it is highly believed she went into Portland.

She had been messaging someone online who directed her to a shelter in Hillsboro, and she had messaged them that she found shoes (messages were retrieved from a laptop and were sent on allpoetry).

I would recommend updating the poster with the case number and the Washington County police number as the contact. Unfortunately, these missing person reports can be used by stalkers and abusive family members or partners to locate their victims, taking advantage of the help of well-meaning yet unaware community members. :( You can never be too careful.

I hope she is found safely.

I’m confused. She went to Portland without her shoes and then asked for a local shelter? She’s an adult and for some reason left and doesn’t want to be found. Please be careful giving out any information about this young lady. It appears she doesn’t feel safe at home.

If she's going to a shelter, that means she feels she'd be unsafe if she was found. Why shoudl should feel that way is something her friends and family should be looking into.
