Mother, Daughters Reported Missing (Photo)

SAMS VALLEY, Ore. – Jackson County Sheriff’s Office deputies and search and rescue (SAR) personnel are searching for a mother and her two young daughters, last seen Tuesday afternoon. Deputies say the three are considered to be missing and endangered.

On August 7, 2018, at 9:08 p.m., a family member reported Tanda Christiansen, 28, and her two daughters, ages 6 and 7, were missing. The three walked away from the family’s residence in the 2500-block of Holcomb Springs Road at about 10:00 a.m. The family became concerned when they didn’t return home after dark. Additionally, Christiansen has recently exhibited signs of mental illness.

Deputies believe the case is related to a call they received Tuesday afternoon, several hours prior to Christiansen and her daughters being reported missing. A resident on Pelton Lane called dispatch to request a welfare check on a woman and two girls. The resident located the three wandering on her property and gave them a ride to the end of the driveway. They were last seen at about 1:00 p.m. walking on Pelton Lane toward Ramsey Road. Deputies arrived a short time later and checked the area, but did not locate the three subjects.

About a half-mile of trees and fields separate the missing subjects’ home and the location where they are believed to have been spotted Tuesday afternoon. The three were barefoot and reportedly carried some water with them.

Tanda Christiansen is described as a white female adult, five feet, seven inches tall, weighing approximately 180 pounds. Her brown hair is dyed blue or purple, and she has brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a blue shirt and blue pants.

The oldest girl, 7, has light brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a turquoise shirt. The younger girl, 6, has dark brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a pink shirt and shorts.

Deputies and SAR personnel are in the area searching and distributing flyers. They ask residents to check their property and outbuildings for any sign of the missing subjects. Anyone with information to call dispatch at (541) 776-7206. Refer to case #18-16535.

Yeah it is.

Jackson county is pretty big, but if I have the location right it looks like where they disappeared from is close to some of the current wildfire areas, but not directly in them.

I see Mom might not be in a good mental state, not sure what exactly that means? Further, if people knew that was the case, why isn't someone keeping an eye on the girls? Big sighhhhh of frustration. Video at link.

My sister-in-law lives in White City. So while visiting we've been on Ramsey Road many times. Hoping the SAR teams find them quickly today.

I'm hoping that one of the girls will try to reach out for help if they are able. Sometimes children realize that something isn't right with a parent and will try to help them. Fingers crossed that this is a possibility.

I'm glad there's already a thread for them - was just going to make one. I just called the dispatcher to ask what was being done - Oregonlive didn't have any updates. The dispatcher assured me search & rescue are out looking for them. Obviously she couldn't have made it to Washington, with no shoes or money & intense heat. I just can't fathom how anyone could take two small girls out in this heat & smoke.
