UPDATE: HE'S BACK! Posting this to help Brian Calvert of KNWN find missing son

"This is an extremely heart-wrenching and personal thing to share, but I need your help.

My son ran away from home Wednesday after a tumultuous summer of mental health issues. He ran with a girl his age; she was found in Gresham, Oregon late Thursday night after separating from him.

My friends in the Portland Metro area, can you please share his pictures? My heart is breaking. I need your help."

Rebecca Stevenson has left KOMO

"I am no longer at Komo 4." Thanks. Longtime Weather Anchor Rebecca Stevenson confirms that she left the station just before Christmas. Her last Facebook posts are 12/17.

Her last day at KOMO is June 26. It's the first big anchor move by 7's new news boss. Plus previously adding Nia Bliss (Wong-ex Fox 13) and Heather Bosch freelance (ex-Kiro radio). Interesting to see exactly what her role there will be. KIRO has a morning traffic anchor and an established news team in Dee Dee and Linzi plus Nick Allard on weather. Waiting to hear more. Majors also said she will continue teaching at Seattle U. I have not been impressed by her work on ARC. Steve McCarron has carried her along. She's a strong brand builder, however. You can search my previous posts about her on the site. Could this also signal the end of ARC? I posted last week that a major move was going to happen in the market. KING ...
