(UPDATE, 7:45 p.m., 2/2/2021) The Missing/Endangered Person Advisory for the Spokane woman who reported to Lake County authorities that she had been kidnapped by her boyfriend has been updated to reflect new vehicle and location information.

The Lake County Sheriff's Office reported that 20-year-old Korrine Peterson and 34-year-old John Monday are in a gray 2012 Jeep Liberty with Washington plates: BSV2265.
