14-year-old Vancouver girl missing since August found safe

Danielle Hone, a 14-year-old Vancouver girl missing since August, has been found and is safe, according to the Clark County Sheriff’s Office.

Danielle, or Danny, was found after midnight Tuesday, according to the National Women’s Coalition Against Violence & Exploitation, which has been working with her family. She left her Salmon Creek-area home on Aug. 10, 2015, and did not return.

Danielle reportedly had been in the company of William Joseph Anderson, a registered sex offender and transient from Portland.

Michelle Bart, president of the coalition, said officers in Multnomah County, Ore., noticed a vehicle associated with the case very early Wednesday morning, and found Danielle inside.

“She is safe, and she does not appear to have been harmed at this point,” Bart said.

Gresham, Ore., police Detective Brandon Crate said officers found the vehicle in a drug store parking lot, and no one else was taken into custody.

Danielle is a ward of the state, Bart said, and was with the Department of Health and Human Services on Wednesday.
