The family of a missing Oregon teenager is begging the public for help locating their daughter. Loved ones last saw Breauna Vaughn, 17, on January 18 in Clackamas County. She reportedly left home without her phone, medication, money, or even a coat despite the harsh winter weather.
In a Facebook post, Vaughn's mother, Stephanie Moyer, pleaded with anyone who might have information to please get in touch with her. Moyer said surveillance video shows her daughter getting into a red sedan, and the mother is desperate to know whose vehicle it was.

The teen was last seen in the afternoon.
The sheriff's office reported that Bree was last seen in the Estacada/Eagle Creek area in the afternoon of January 18. Moyer described in a Facebook post how she last saw her daughter.
"She was possibly wearing a white hoodie, jeans and gray heydude shoes and a black backpack. Possibly wearing a kimes or lane frost hat and possibly had a black ariat vest over the white hoodie. This is what she was wearing Thursday morning, but she may have changed out of some or all of those clothes so please consider that when looking at the video," she asked.
The mother fears her daughter may have gotten into someone's car.
She explained that the family was looking for any surveillance video that may show Bree getting out of one vehicle and into another. She believed she got into a red car and asked anyone who may have seen her go to the police.
"If you see her on your recording, please contact the Sheriff or send it to me in messenger, do not post it publicly until we've had a chance to confirm it is Bree," she wrote in her post.
Some people allege Bree was abused.
According to online posts, Bree may have run away from home after alleged instances of abuse. Marie Allen-Zorn, who said she is Bree's grandmother, claimed in a post on the Sandy Community Information Facebook page that Bree left home because she was abused by her father, Anthony Moyer, and no longer wanted to be in her home.
The grandmother posted a lengthy story and claimed there was a video of the alleged abuse.
Bree's family has not publicly addressed the rumors.
Although many allegations have been made regarding the family's potential involvement in the teen's disappearance, neither Stephanie nor Anthony Moyer has talked about the accusations. Dozens have shared Zorn's post and made their own assumptions about what may have happened to Bree.
"I have no idea I just hope she gets the help she needs so she feels SAFE! What a sad and scary situation to be in," one person commented on the allegations. "There's obviously two sides to every story and nothing really has been shared by her parents about anything happening just that she's 'missing.'"
