Queen Creek police are stepping up the search for 16-year-old Nora Verini, who was last seen Saturday night walking near South Hawes Road and East Rittenhouse. Officers say the case remains an active missing-person investigation and they are urging anyone with information to come forward.
According to FOX 10 Phoenix, the alert naming Verini and listing her last-known location was issued Sunday and has been circulating across local outlets while investigators work to track down leads.

A public high-school softball roster for the ALA-QC Patriots lists a "Nora Verini-Evans," a name that appears to match the one in the police alert. That roster, available on AZPreps365, may help neighbors connect the missing-person notice to a familiar student athlete in the community.
How to help
Anyone with information about Verini's possible whereabouts is asked to contact Queen Creek Police, or call 911 if you believe she is in immediate danger. Even small tips - a sighting, a possible direction of travel, or a relevant social media account - could prove critical to investigators.
What we still don't know
As of Monday morning, public details remain limited about the circumstances surrounding Verini's disappearance, including what she was wearing when she was last seen. This story will be updated as Queen Creek Police or local news outlets release additional confirmed information.
