The Worcester Police Department confirmed the safe recovery of one-and-a-half-year-old Liyana Collins, who went missing on Wednesday with her mother, Amanda Collins. As reported by WCVB, the child was found last night. Details regarding her discovery and current condition have not been released.
Amanda Collins was last seen on February 26 in an apartment on Belmont Street, and the safety of her child was a primary concern for authorities. To aid in the search, Worcester officials sought public assistance via social media on Wednesday, as reported by WCVB. The location of Amanda remains unknown, with officials yet to locate her.
The urgency of the case increased due to the police's inability to contact Amanda after her disappearance. While Liyana's safe recovery has partially resolved the search, Amanda's whereabouts remain unknown. The police did not provide specific details about Liyana's location at the time of her discovery, but Boston 25 News reported that she was not found in Worcester.
Authorities are encouraging anyone with information that could assist in locating Amanda to call 911 or 508-799-8606.
