LAKEPORT, Calif. – A young girl whose noncustodial father allegedly abducted her from San Bernardino County earlier this month may have been spotted in Lakeport.


Ava Rian Riggle, 3, was taken from her Phelan home by her father, Nicholas Riggle, 22, as Lake County News has reported.


Officials said Nicholas Riggle had been in Lake County in March and was believed to be back in the area, along with a woman named Marcy Gearhart, who also has reportedly used the last name Riggle.


On Thursday at approximately 2:17 p.m. a “be on the lookout” to local law enforcement officers was broadcast in response to reported sightings of Gearhart and the girl at two different locations.
