Amber Alert Tuesday Had Error

Thursday, November 20, 2025 at 8:12 AM

The good news is the juveniles and their mother were found safe just hours later.

Montesano Police say an Amber Alert issued Tuesday got one big detail wrong by listing the suspects as last seen in Montesano, a claim the department quickly corrected. Officers sent updated information to Odessa Police and State Patrol showing the family was actually last known to be in the Seattle and King County area, with no connection to Grays Harbor County at all. The department says it flagged the mistake immediately to help refocus the search. The good news is the juveniles and their mother were found safe just hours later.
