A Bellevue police detective found a missing mother and her daughter in Federal Way on Sunday afternoon.

Nichol Pappas-Haffie, 37, and her 3-year-old daughter Emilea Switzer were reported missing and endangered because of Pappas-Haffie’s past drug abuse.

The girl’s grandparents, who had been caring for her, hadn’t seen either of them since May 10, Mother’s Day. Pappas-Haffie was visiting with her daughter that day but didn’t return her that night.

According to the police report, detectives called Federal Way police for assistance at 1400 SW Dash Point Road and officers arrested the mother for a $1,600 theft warrant out of Federal Way.

The Bellevue detective took the girl as there was a Child Protective Services referral for her.

After the mother was arrested, she was given a new court date and released at the scene.
