An AMBER Alert issued in Oregon on February 24, 2026, has drawn regional attention across the Columbia River, where many Cowlitz County residents regularly commute into the Portland metro area. According to reporting by KGW, authorities are searching for two Multnomah County sisters—8‑year‑old Haizlee Wright and 7‑year‑old Brinzlee Wright—who were last seen with their mother on February 13. Law enforcement officials stated in the alert that the children are believed to be in danger and that their mother does not have legal custody.

Officials issued the AMBER Alert after determining the case met the criteria under Oregon’s statewide child‑abduction notification system, which requires confirmation of an abduction, risk of imminent danger, and sufficient descriptive information for the public to assist. Oregon State Police oversee the program’s activation process and coordinate dissemination through emergency broadcast systems, digital signage, and partnerships with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.

While the alert originates in Multnomah County, cross‑border cooperation is common when children may travel across state lines. Washington residents in communities such as Longview and Kelso often receive Oregon AMBER Alerts due to shared transportation corridors, particularly along I‑5 and SR‑14. Regional law enforcement agencies encourage the public to immediately report any relevant sightings by calling 911.

At the time of publication, no recovery or update has been announced by officials, and the AMBER Alert remains active. Anyone with information connected to the whereabouts of Haizlee or Brinzlee is urged to contact law enforcement using the number provided in the alert or through emergency dispatch.
