A missing teen from Woodinville was spotted in Capitol Hill last month.
More than two months after 14-year-old Nyla Primeau disappeared, she was seen on security footage in Seattle, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) reported in a news release on Thursday.
Nyla went missing Aug. 19 from Woodinville. Law enforcement said they got a lead about a month later that led investigators to security footage near the store in Capitol Hill on Sept. 17.
The footage showed Nyla wearing a black hoodie and gray sweatpants and carrying a white backpack around noon.
“This is the last known sighting of Nyla, approximately 20 miles from her home,” NCMEC stated.
