AMBER Alert update: 15-year-old girl from Washington found safe in Nevada; one suspect in custody
YAKIMA, Wash. - UPDATE: FBI and local authorities helped safely recover a missing 15-year-old from Yakima, Washington after an AMBER Alert for her was issued for several hours on Monday.
Yakima Police confirmed Monday evening the teenager, Angeles V Revuelta-Buenrostro, was spotted during a traffic stop on a highway in Wells, Nevada around 10 p.m. Monday. Local authorities arrested one suspect and the vehicle driver, Eric Landeros. He is charged with kidnapping and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Landeros is being held in Elko, Nevada on $250,000 bail.
"Because of the help from the FBI, local police, specifically the Arizona Department of Public Safety, and the public, Revueleta-Buenrostro was able to be found quickly," Yakima Communications & Public Affairs Director Randy Beehler said in a statement with Yakima PD. "At last report, she was in Elko, Nevada waiting for her family to pick her up and bring her back to Yakima."
Police continue searching for a second suspect involved, Daniel Ovante, who police say is suspected in having been involved in the kidnapping of Revuelta-Buenrostro.
In October 2020, Yakima Police say the 15-year-old was found with Ovante in Phoenix, AZ after reportedly running away from her Yakima home.
Police say Ovante is believed to be in Mexico. This remains an ongoing investigation.
