PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Searchers still looking for the body of a 14-year-old Portland girl probed caves Sunday in the Rocky Butte park area.
Police believe Yashanee Vaughn was killed last month at a house in that area of northeast Portland.
On Friday a grand jury returned a murder indictment against her 16-year-old boyfriend, Parrish Bennette.
KGW reports Vaughn’s family and friends held an emotional vigil for her Saturday night near Madison High School.
The family is distributing fliers in the area, asking anyone with information about the case to call police. There’s a $1,000 Crime Stoppers reward for useful information.
