North Bend parents search for missing teen

Runaway signs aren’t right, stepmother says

The parents of a missing 14-year-old Twin Falls Middle School student say signs don’t add up that their teen ran away.

As of press time Tuesday, father Denny and step-mother Noel Holler of North Bend have not seen their daughter, Natalie Elizabeth Holler, since Saturday, Jan. 9. Natalie was last seen about 8:30 p.m. while visiting her mother, Alisha Holler, at the View at Redondo apartments, located at 29421 Pacific Highway S. in Federal Way.

The teen, who is described as five feet, nine inches tall, about 135 pounds with black and pink hair and a pierced eyebrow, had gone outside periodically during the day from the apartment. When her mother went outside to fetch her about 9 p.m., she was gone.

Noel Holler told the Valley Record that she doubts her step-daughter ran off on her own volition, and is concerned that she may have been abducted.

“We think it might be more,” she said. “Too many things aren’t adding up.”

Natalie had made plans for that evening and the following weekend, and was excited about attending a concert with her father. Noel said school counselors told her that Natalie seemed happy and productive at school.

Natalie failed to take her overnight bag or any of her spending money, and was wearing flip-flops.

A reward is being offered for Natalie’s safe return.

• Anyone with information on Natalie Holler’s whereabouts is asked to call the Federal Way Police Department at (253) 835-6700 or 911.
