PORTLAND, Ore. - Around 5 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 12, Portland Police officers responded to a North Portland residence on the report of a missing 11-year-old boy.

So far the boy is not considered by police to be endangered.

Officers and detectives from the Missing Persons Unit immediately became involved and have continued their investigation throughout the night. They are now asking for the public's help in locating 11-year-old Lok (pronounced "Loke") Chante Marcellay, pictured above.

Lok was reportedly last seen getting off the school bus in front of his residence, at approximately 2:15 p.m. Tuesday afternoon. Lok is 4-feet-7-inches tall and weighs 80 pounds. He has straight, shoulder-length black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing an orange T-shirt and khaki cargo shorts. He also wears thick, black-framed glasses.

"At this point in the investigation, detectives do not have any reason to believe this is a stranger abduction case," according to a press release from the Portland Police.

Detectives have asked that anyone who knows of Lok's current whereabouts immediately call 9-1-1. Anyone with additional information is asked to contact Detective Mike Weinstein, at (503) 823-0446.

Morning Star Marcellay, 34, also known as Morning Star Means, has been arrested by Olympia police officers on outstanding warrants that aren't related to her son's disappearance. She was booked into the Pierce County Jail early this morning.

Police say Lok has been spotted by numerous witnesses and was recently seen with his mother's boyfriend, Michael Hall. Hall is also suspected of being involved in the child's disappearance.

Morning Star Means is barred from having contact with her son. Detectives suspect Lok's mother and Hall took the boy from his home and fled to Washington. Investigators say Hall and the boy may still be in Washington.

Lok is 4'7" and weighs 80 pounds. He has straight, shoulder-length black hair and brown eyes. He wears thick, black-rimmed glasses. He was last seen wearing a yellow or orange T-shirt and khaki cargo shorts, with blue and white Nike sneakers.

Hall, also Native American, is about 40-years-old and 5'8" tall. He is described as overweight with shoulder-length brown hair in a ponytail and a mustache.

The pair maybe in a black 1993 Dodge Caravan with Washington license plate: 660 ZZU.

Anyone who knows of the child's whereabouts is urged to call 9-1-1 immediately.

Lok Chante Marcellay Found Safe, Unharmed in Washington

October 15, 2010


PORTLAND, Ore. (CBS/KOIN) Authorities announced that Lok Chante Marcellay, the missing 11-year-old from North Portland, has been found safe and unharmed in Washington.

Lok was last seen at about 2:15 p.m. Tuesday in front of his Portland residence after being dropped off by his school bus.

The investigation never considered the case a stranger abduction and the boy's biological mother and boyfriend quickly became suspects.

In Olympia, Wash., Lok's biological mother, 34-year-old Morning Star Marcellay, was arrested earlier by officers on warrants unrelated to the missing child case.

Her boyfriend, Michael Wayne Hall, is in contact with law enforcement and cooperating.

Police didn't say where Lok was found or whether he was with Hall and the circumstances surrounding how the child went missing are still being investigated.

Lok is with law enforcement and his family has been notified of his safe status.
