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.
