Update on the Ava Carey Investigation
Lieutenant Ryan Eaton from City of Corvallis · 1 day ago

Yesterday, officers utilized our Major Crash Team drone to survey green spaces near Village Green Park. Officers and investigators also followed up on over fifty tips we have received and more tips are still coming in. These tips are important to our efforts in finding Ava, and we thank the community for calling and emailing those tips in.

To assist with our reception and processing of these tips, we have established a tip line, which is staffed 24 hours a day, and can be reached by calling our Dispatch center at 541-766-6911.

As the investigation continues, we are continuing our work with the assistance of the Benton County Sheriff’s Office, FBI, and the Benton County District Attorney’s Office.

TY for the transcript! Just a couple of other points that may be important:

• Not a major discrepancy but Chief Hurley says and the "flyer" at the end of the vid shows Ava is 16-y-o.
• also wearing a "fisherman style cap"
• Village Green Park is in the NE area of town

OMG!!!!!!!

Not sure how credible DS is but that is a pretty specific tip.

Yeah...and a pic! I hope Ava is okay.

Yeah...and a pic! I hope Ava is okay.

That tip is interesting and detailed for sure but a quick look at the fb page of the person who posted it leaves me less than convinced.

 

[whitelilac]

Following.
Re: that tip. If I had such detailed info, I would never post it on a public page. It could alert any perp, and put Ava in more danger. I'd obviously call it in only.

Agreed. That individual is very clearly not well.

OHH. EMM. GEE!!!! No! What on Earth is going on in this disappearance?!

 

[bykerladi]

Yhea, DS has some... interesting posts. I'm leaning towards NOT credible. Interesting that she thinks someone is using her last name for a fake ID.

 

[Taybor]

She's been found! Safe!
