Chelan County Sheriff's Office arrested a suspect in an Amber Alert case on July 22, 2026, related to the May 30 killing of a homeless woman, according to a Wenatchee World report.

Prosecutors filed a memo arguing the suspect, a juvenile, should be tried as an adult due to the 'serious nature of the crime' and a 'serial killer fixation' cited in court documents. The suspect faces homicide charges for the May 30 incident in Wenatchee.
