Beaverton toddler found safe after brief Amber Alert; mother faces kidnapping charges
Three-year-old Joshua Ovalles was found safe in Beaverton, Oregon, on Thursday afternoon, leading to the cancellation of an Amber Alert issued after he went missing on Tuesday. Oregon State Police (OSP) and Beaverton Police Department (BPD) coordinated the search, noting that the child’s non-custodial mother, Mari Martinez, had allegedly threatened harm and may have been armed. Martinez was last seen in a white 2022 Mercedes SUV. The child has been recovered, and the mother is now facing charges for kidnapping.
