Press Release Kidnapped Child Located

On 03/10/2026 after being notified by Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department and DCFS from LA, Sgt. Quintana along with SRO’s Tate and Scolaro from Washington County Sheriffs Office located a 11-year-old female child that had been kidnapped on 06/02/2020 from Los Angeles County in California.

With the information provided to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office Deputies were able to determine that the child was enrolled in Washington County Schools under an alias name. After working in combination with multiple agencies from NC to California the child was taken into protective custody, and is SAFE!

These are very rare occurrences to have such a positive outcome on such an old case as this, but it reminds us that through hard work, and dedication, and cooperation. Stories with positive outcomes like these can happen.

Due to the age of the child, and current investigations underway no more information is available at this time and her name is being withheld for privacy reasons.

Washington County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the multiple agencies from California and here in NC for the assistance and cooperation in this.
