According to preliminary information, law enforcement received a report that Madeline Avillion had been reported missing, prompting detectives to launch an active investigation. Officers are continuing to gather evidence, pursue investigative leads, and work closely with her family as efforts to determine her whereabouts continue.

As the search continues, members of the Washington, D.C., community have expressed support for Avillion’s family, sharing her information and hoping for her safe return.
