Vaughn's disappearance comes just weeks after another Oregon teenager went missing. Emily Brallier was last seen exiting Franklin High School on January 2, but she hadn't made it home near Southeast Woodstock Boulevard and Southeast 65th Avenue. The Portland Police Bureau warned that the urgency for the 16-year-old was high because she, too, was off her medication.
An update dated January 5 from the Portland Police Bureau’s Missing Persons Unit revealed that Brallier had been discovered the night prior in the city of Hillsboro. “Thanks to all who helped look for her,” the authorities said in the update.
