The Beaverton Police Department is pleased to announce that 3-year-old Joshua E. Ovalles, who was reported missing on October 7, 2026 and was the subject of an Amber Alert, has been located, is safe and has been reunited with his father.
Joshua was located safely in the City of Lake Oswego after his mother, Mari Martinez, dropped him off at the home of a trusted individual.
After dropping Joshua off, Martinez fled the area, prompting a coordinated search by law enforcement to locate her. Officers and detectives from the Beaverton Police Department, along with personnel from the Lake Oswego Police Department and Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office, participated in the search. A Lake Oswego Police Department detective ultimately located Martinez, who was taken into custody.
Joshua had been the subject of an ongoing search after Martinez took him following a Washington County judge’s decision to grant temporary custody to Joshua’s father. The court determined Joshua was in “immediate danger” while in his mother’s unsupervised custody.
Following his recovery, Joshua was reunited with his father. Photographs accompanying this release capture the emotional reunion between father and son.
The Beaverton Police Department extends its sincere appreciation to the Lake Oswego Police Department, Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office, and the many community members who shared information and helped bring attention to Joshua’s disappearance.
Most importantly, we are grateful that Joshua has been found safe and is back in his father’s arms.
Martinez is in Beaverton police custody and is facing charges of Custodial Interference and Kidnapping.

Beaverton Police Arrest Teen Following Pursuit And Crash Into Townhomes
- 10/01/26
At approximately 2:00 a.m., a Beaverton Police Department patrol officer observed a Toyota Sequoia being driven recklessly along SW Tualatin Valley Highway. The officer saw the vehicle make an illegal U-turn, strike a concrete median, lose control, and continue driving erratically.
The officer attempted to conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle near SW Tualatin Valley Highway and SW 178th Avenue. The driver failed to stop and fled northbound on SW 178th Avenue, running a stop sign and continuing to elude officers.
The driver of the Toyota lost control and crashed the SUV into occupied townhomes near SW Johnson Street. Despite significant damage to the residences, no occupants of the townhomes were injured.
Two juveniles fled from the vehicle on foot following the crash.
Beaverton Police K9 Ox was deployed to search for the teens. During the track, officers received information from community members who had seen the teens running through the surrounding neighborhood. K9 Ox and officers ultimately located one of the teens, who surrendered and was taken into custody without further incident. The second teen later returned home and was transported to a hospital for evaluation of injuries sustained during the incident.
Officers subsequently learned the Toyota belonged to the parent of one of the teenagers and had been taken without permission.
The teen believed to have been driving was lodged at a juvenile detention center on charges of Felony Attempt to Elude, Misdemeanor Attempt to Elude, Reckless Driving, Reckless Endangering, Failure to Perform the Duties of a Driver (property damage), and Criminal Mischief in the First Degree.
Because the individuals involved are juveniles, the Beaverton Police Department will not be releasing their names or identifying information.
