FOG BLOG CANADA NEWS LOG: EDMONTON TEEN FOUND SAFE IN OREGON, MAN CHARGED WITH LURING!

Edmonton girl, 13, who went missing June 24 found safe in Oregon Saturday Oregon man, 41, charged with child luring, but more charges may come as the investigation continues A teenage girl from Edmonton, who was first reported missing over a week ago, was found safe in the state of Oregon Saturday, police say.

A man, 41, from Oregon has been arrested. The Edmonton Police Service has charged him with child luring under the Criminal Code of Canada, though more charges may be laid as the investigation progresses, including charges from other police agencies, said Insp. Brent Dahlseide, of the EPS' major crimes branch, during a news conference Saturday morning.

"This was an intensive investigation right from the beginning," Dahlseide said.

"This is a happy ending to an investigation that was exhaustive and intensive; a very heavy week for family and friends, as well, not knowing where [the child] was."

Edmonton police partnered with multiple police agencies, including the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, Gladstone Police (Oregon), Oregon City Police and the FBI.

Dahlseide described the investigation as unique in that EPS does not often have to coordinate with police force's outside the province, let alone across international borders.

The 13-year-old girl rode the bus to school on June 24, but was reported missing after her family learned she did not attend class and did not come home that afternoon.

Family and friends pushed to find her, or any information regarding her whereabouts, in the days since by searching the neighbourhood, forming a Facebook group and posting to social media, handing out pamphlets and putting the child's name and face on billboards.
