GRANT COUNTY, Wash. - Deputies in Grant County say 16-year-old Monica Helberg of Royal City in Grant County has been missing since January 8th and is believed to be with 22-year-old Miles "Logan" Moncada.

Authorities say they have no evidence Helberg has been abducted by Moncada, but her parents believe she was taken, possibly against her will.

Moncada was last seen Saturday night at a motel in Albuquerque New Mexico. When police arrived, the motel room was empty but they did find black hair dye and disposable razors leading officers to believe either one or both have changed their appearance. Moncia was not seen at the motel.
Authorities say Moncada has family in Crystal City (Zavala County) Texas, and he may be heading that way. Helberg's family believes she is in danger.

The missing teen is described as: white with brown hair and brown eyes. She weighs approximately 140 pounds and is about 5'7.

22-year-old Moncada is described as: white with brown hair and brown eyes. He weighs approximately 165 pounds and is about 6'1.

Moncada is said to be driving a 2014 yellow Ford Focus with a Washington state license plate # ANR8440.

If you see either of these people, contact police immediately.

Hope she is OK. There is a good reason for the fifth commandment (well all of them) - so many young girls are getting involved with older guys these days and then seeing them secretly after mom says "no".

Monica Helberg is okay and back in Grant County

January 16, 2014

Grant County Deputies have 16-year-old Monica Helberg in custody. She is being reunited with her family. She turned herself in to a Moses Lake attorney around 4 p.m. today. The attorney notified the Sheriff’s Office.

Monica is safe, in good health and confirms she was not abducted – she traveled willingly with Logan Moncada . Her parents are enroute to pick her up in Moses Lake.

Logan was not at the attorney’s office and we don’t know where he is. Unless we receive information that a crime was committed we won’t be looking for him.

“We’re all very happy that Monica did the right thing and came home,” said Sheriff Tom Jones. “The past several days have been very busy, and I thank everyone who helped us search for Monica.”
