Hillsboro Herald News Alert: 16-year-old Hillsboro, Oregon, teen Keyana Allison is missing and At Risk. All Leads Sought!
Hillsboro, Oregon teenager Keyana Allison is missing and believed to be at risk and in danger, according to her father, Dirk Allison, who the Hillsboro Herald interviewed by phone today. The teen is suffering from depression and mental health issues and left a note that she was thinking of self-harm. She just disappeared from the family’s home at the Hampshire Downs Apartments at 5:30 PM on Friday, August 7th, 2026. Mr Allison pleads with the community, both near and far, to post his daughter’s photos and information and to look out for her to help bring her back home.
Keyana’s Father explained that Keyana has been receiving mental health treatment for some time and seemed to be doing ok. But a birthday card left for him indicated that she was struggling and that self-harm was a possibility. In addition, Mr Allison indicated that he learned Keyana had access to an unrestricted phone and may have been in contact with adults she does not know. While there is more to say here, which the Herald will share as soon as we are able, here are additional facts he wanted us to share to stress the urgency with which the family believes her disappearance must be treated.
- She was not seen walking off the Apartment grounds after a review of security footage, according to her father.
- Her father believes it is possible she left in a vehicle but has no idea who or if that happened.
- Her father believes she may be in danger and is deeply concerned that this is the case.
- Her father does not believe she had access to any funds at the time of her departure.
- Keyana may have access to a phone, but it has not been active since she left, according to him.
- Mr Allison is grateful to all the people trying to help, including members of the Glencoe High School team and mental health staff.
- Attempts to use the Highway LED Billboards have been unsuccessful. Amber Alerts are not appropriate according to her Father.
The possibility of her being a target of trafficking is a great concern he has. It is possible she was contacted by someone unknown to Keyana or her family. Any parent right now would, and he and Keyana’s family and friends are working with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office and the Hillsboro Police Department.
From Dirk Allison: Missing, Keyana Allison left home, turning off her phone 5:30pm on Friday August 7th. She left a birthday card for me that was deeply concerning, Keyana has been struggling with depression, If you see her or have any information to her whereabouts please contact Myself at 971-930-3826 or Hillsboro Police at 503-629-0111 please reference

10 out of 10 Danger Level –
The Facebook Missing Child Alert has posted a Nationwide Call to Action on its Facebook page, which has hundreds of thousands of followers. They are reminding people that a sting was just completed in Washington County that exposed the extent of the problem of Child Predators in our Communities. Read their post. They rate the Danger Level to Keyana at 10 out of 10.
REGIONAL THREAT REPORT (not case-related)
DANGER LEVEL: 10/10 — CRITICAL
On June 4, 2026 — just two months ago — the Washington County Sheriff’s Office and the Hillsboro Police Department conducted a joint child predator sting in this county. Investigators posed as underage minors on dating applications, social media platforms, and other online services. Five people were arrested for luring a minor and online sexual corruption of a child, and law enforcement stated they believe more victims of these individuals may exist. Washington County also operates a dedicated Human Trafficking Task Force, certified in 2018, working alongside local law enforcement to combat exploitation in this area. A 16-year-old in mental health crisis, phone off, no confirmed direction, in a county where predators were actively targeting minors just weeks ago through the same online platforms teenagers use every day — every one of those factors stacks. This is a 10.
HPD Case 26-15019(503) 629-0111
