Child who was with father during Ellensburg robbery returns home

A 9-year-old girl who was at her father's side during a convenience-store holdup near Ellensburg has returned to Washington state from California.

Police on Friday were still looking for 42-year-old Robert Daniel Webb, of Everett, who was last seen eluding officers Wednesday night in Fortuna, Calif. He left his 9-year-old daughter at the home of an acquaintance there, and the girl's mother went to California to pick her up.

As she arrived Friday at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, the girl told KING-TV News that the situation has been hard and has made her sad.

On Tuesday, the robber told the clerk at an AM-PM minimart that he had lost his job and needed money for his daughter. Store video showed the girl in a pink coat watching as the man beside her pulls a gun and takes about $200.
