Law enforcement officers in Oregon, working with the FBI's Salt Lake City field office and the Rich County Sheriff's Office, safely recovered her on Sunday.

She was found with a 39-year-old man who was taken into custody without incident. The New York Post reports that the man allegedly met her on Snapchat before her disappearance. The FBI and Rich County Sheriff's Office said they had been actively investigating for more than a year, pursuing leads from across the US and other countries.

Federal authorities credited the Oregon State Police, the FBI's Portland field office and the Utah Department of Public Safety for their assistance. FBI Director Kash Patel said: 'Tonight, local police in Oregon brought a minor who had been missing for a year and a half to safety, acting on information provided by our FBI Salt Lake City Field Office.' He added: 'We are grateful she can return home, and we will continue working with our partners to hold those responsible accountable.' The case remains ongoing.
