From the desk of SHERIFF JOHN WARD CURRY COUNTY, OREGON 94235 MOORE STREET, SUITE 311 29808 Colvin Street (Physical) GOLD BEACH, OR 97444 (541) 247-3221 - FAX: 541-247-6893 Wardj@co.curry.or.us On 11-7-2025 at around 6:22 pm, the Curry County Sheriff’s Office dispatch center received a report of a missing juvenile from central Curry County. We were informed that the child left her home on foot at around 12:30 pm and was seen getting into a vehicle with an unidentified adult male in Gold Beach at around 3:30 pm. Dispatch contacted Sgt. Zane Van Zelf and he contacted the family of the missing child. Sgt. Van Zelf worked swiftly with fellow ICAC investigators at the Crescent City Police Department to obtain digital information that may help in locating the child. The investigation led Sgt. Van Zelf to a residence of two adults in Harbor, about 30 miles away from where the child was last seen. The child was thankfully found at that residence and taken into protective custody. She was reunited with her parents at around 2:00 am. Sgt. Van Zelf continued the investigation over the next several days, working with the family and Wally’s House of Curry County. On 11-18-2025, a search warrant was executed at a Harbor residence, and two adults were taken into custody. 21-year-old Nathan Stender was arrested for Rape 3rd Degree (2 counts), Sexual Abuse 2nd Degree (3 counts), Luring a Minor and Custodial Interference 2nd Degree. 22-year-old Autumn Vila was arrested for Sexual Abuse 2nd Degree and Custodial Interference 2nd Degree. Both suspects were lodged in the Curry County Jail. We would like to thank the Crescent City Police Department, the Gold Beach Police Department and Wally’s House of Curry County for their assistance in this investigation. If you have any information related to this case, please contact Sgt. Van Zelf at the Curry County Sheriff’s Office. Featured News by Curry County Sheriff
