🎥 ON THE RAILS: Oregon girl, 10, found alive about 13 hours after abduction

A 10-year-old girl taken from a Canby, Oregon, apartment early Wednesday was found alive that afternoon, authorities say.

Canby police say a man entered the apartment at about 1:39 a.m. Pacific on Wed., Oct. 28, assaulted her 12-year-old sister and abducted her.

The FBI, Oregon State Police, the Clackamas County Major Crimes Team and a U.S. Marshals task force joined the search. Prosecutors say a suspect vehicle and phone tracking led investigators to a home in Oregon City. At about 2:45 p.m., officers made entry, and the girl was located tied up in a closet, the U.S. Marshals Service says. She was taken to a hospital. The suspect was arrested without further incident.

Vince Edgar Chavez, 35, was arraigned Thursday on 10 felony counts, including attempted murder, kidnapping, burglary, sex abuse and sodomy, Clackamas County says. He is held without bail. The charges are allegations; he has not been convicted.

Prosecutors say the 12-year-old was struck with a hammer and remains hospitalized with severe injuries. No condition update on the 10-year-old has been released. Chavez is due back in court Nov. 5.
