The Arizona Department of Public Safety has released a Silver Alert as the Mesa Police Department searches for 71-year-old Quenett Scott, a resident of Mesa, Arizona, who went missing on Friday, August 8, 2025. Described as a Black female, standing 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighing 170 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, Ms. Scott was last seen departing her home near McDowell Road and Val Vista Drive around 5:25 PM.
Known for wearing her long sleeve green top paired with white pants and white shoes, her style became a small beaming light of her identity that day – a signal now used to trace her steps. "Quenett has a medical condition which makes her prone to seizures, and she is without her medication," the Department of Public Safety reported. Concern mounts not only because of her age but due to the fact that her necessary medications are not with her, amplifying the urgency of her situation.
With a belief that she may be somewhere on foot within Mesa or the neighboring East Valley cities, Investigator Silva of the Mesa Police Department is the appointed point of contact for this case. Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Quenett Scott is advised to immediately call 480-710-5859, assisting in a swift and hopeful resolution to her return.
As the regional community has witnessed in the past, the success of the Silver Alert system relies heavily on public engagement and awareness. For those unfamiliar, additional information on Silver Alerts and their role in public safety can be found through the Arizona Department of Public Safety's information page. With every unreturned citizen, like threads unraveling from the fabric of our community, urgency and attention are the needles to mend the tear," the department explained in their public statement.
