Police looking for missing mother and child

Bomb cyclone storm impacts

A bomb cyclone windstorm lashed Bellevue the night of Tuesday, Nov. 19, bringing down trees throughout the city and leaving hundreds of thousands without power. Most city facilities have power but some are on modified hours or closed due to power outages. Damages from the storm continue to impact Bellevue, prompting the mayor to proclaim a civil emergency in the city. Updates about the city's response will be posted at Bomb Cyclone Storm.

The Bellevue Police are seeking the public's help with finding a mother and her 3-year-old daughter. Nichol Pappas-Haffie and her daughter Emilea Switzer are both considered endangered.

Mom and daughter were last seen Sunday, May 10, in a 1996 burgundy Chevrolet Blazer (Washington license plate 804-YZJ). Pappas-Haffie had her daughter Emilea for Mother's Day, but did not return her that night to her grandparents, who have been caring for the child.

Pappas-Haffie has unconfirmed warrants out for her arrest, has substance abuse issues and is likely without money.

If you see either Pappas-Haffie or her daughter, please call Bellevue Police at 425-452-6917 or 911. The police news release has pictures of Pappas-Haffie, Emilea and an SUV that looks like the one Pappas-Haffie was driving.
