According to the MEPA, which was issued just after 2:30 p.m. on Monday, August 12, 2024, Riley made "suicidal and violent statements" before leaving a Helena residence on foot on Sunday, August 11th at 6 pm.
Riley is a white female with brown hair and blue eyes. She is 5 feet tall and weighs about 160 pounds.She was last seen wearing black leggings and a ‘crop top.’
Due to the suicidal statements made, and lack of any way to contact Riley, it is believed she may be in danger at this time.
