— -- A missing 9-year-old Oregon girl who was last seen Monday night leaving a train station with a couple and another child has been found, according to the family.

Elisa Salmeron had last been seen around 9:30 p.m. Monday near her home in Gresham, according to the Gresham Police Department.

The moment Salmeron's mother learned that her daughter had been found was caught on video by ABC affiliate KATU in Portland.

Minutes later, police took Salmeron home and tweeted a photo of the reunion.

It is unclear how police found her and where she was between last night and today.

The girl's family told KATU that she went missing after taking out the trash. She was seen on surveillance cameras at a nearby train station with a suitcase, the station reported.

Salmeron left the station with a pair of young adults and another child, KATU reported. Her family members said that they did not recognize the people she was with and that the suitcase she had was not hers.
