The crashed vehicle that the three girls were in up Coeur d’Alene River Rd. The car reportedly hit a patch of ice, causing it to leave the roadway.

PRICHARD — The woman that search and rescue teams are currently attempting to locate in the Prichard area of Shoshone County has been identified as 24- year old Allyssa Rae Gall (also known as Alice Parker), of Spokane Valley, Wash. She is described as 5’1”, 110 pounds, with brown hair and green eyes.

Gall was reported missing early Thursday morning when two teenage girls (14 and 18 years of age) arrived at the Wallace Inn saying that they were involved in a car crash and that their friend was gone.

The receptionist who spoke with the girls, Sadie Bryarly-Harris, told the News-Press that the three were traveling north on Coeur d’Alene River Rd. last night around midnight with the intention of watching the Geminid Meteor Shower from a rural area.

Once they reached mile post 38 on Coeur d’Alene River Rd. though, they decided to turn around.

On their way back down the river, their vehicle hit a patch of ice near Prichard and crashed into an embankment close to mile post 22.

The three were stranded with no cell service.

After roughly an hour of sitting in the car, the girls told Bryarly-Harris that Gall left the car to pee and then claimed that they fell asleep after she left.

Upon awakening, the girls noticed that their friend had not returned.

The two teenage girls then set off to find help around 3 a.m.

They stated that they tried to knock on several doors in the area, but no one answered.

Eventually, the girls were able to get a ride from an unknown male over Dobson Pass and were dropped off at the Wallace Inn where Bryarly-Harris called the police.

Initial attempts to pin down where the incident occurred proved difficult since the teenage girls do not know the area well — saying only that it must have been near Dobson Pass since thats what the unknown male told them.

Holly Lindsey, SCSO Undersheriff, stated that search and rescue has establish a base camp near Prichard and is currently receiving assistance from other agencies.

This is a developing story and the News-Press will provide more information as it becomes available.

SCSO reports that Gall’s mother has been notified of the situation.
