Mercer Island’s Danielle “Dani” Wolfe was found and is safe, according to her dad’s Facebook page late on the night of April 4.

“I want to thank everyone who helped with tips and everything to find her,” he said.

Law enforcement was on the lookout for the 17-year-old who went missing on March 30, according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children’s website.

A flier noted that Wolfe was last seen in Eugene, Oregon, entering an unknown silver car on March 31. She was wearing a gray hoodie, Converse shoes and a black backpack, the flier reads. The flier was shared with the Reporter and she’s also listed missing in the center’s database.

Wolfe is a junior at Mercer Island High School.

Mercer Island Police Department (MIPD) Commander Jeff Magnan said on April 2 that the MIPD had assigned a detective to the case.

“We’re in touch with the family during all of this and we want to find a swift resolution to this and find her as quickly as we can. We are trying to actively locate her and we’re using our partnerships with the state of Oregon as well as in the state of Washington,” Magnan said.

The flier originated from the national center and the family added more photos and information.

The Reporter will add more information to this story when it becomes available.
