Phoenix Police are asking the public for help finding a missing juvenile.
Phoenix Police's public alert asks for information about a missing juvenile.
How Arizona's Missing-Person Alerts Work
According to the Arizona Department of Public Safety, an AMBER Alert is issued only when all five specified criteria are met; that general policy does not explain why an alert may or may not have been issued in Douglas's case. Arizona's alert system also includes Turquoise Alerts for reports of missing endangered people under 65 when specific activation criteria are met.
How to Report a Sighting or Tip
Phoenix Police say social media comments and direct messages are not an acceptable way to report information in this case. Anyone with information about where Douglas might be is asked to call the department at 602-262-6151.
This is not the first time this fall that Phoenix Police have turned to the public for help locating a missing young person. In September, the department asked for assistance locating another missing juvenile identified as Velasco, directing tipsters to the Phoenix Police number. In October, it sought help finding 17-year-old Jazzell Ann Avalos.
What National Recovery Data Shows
NCMEC's 2025 impact report cites an overall recovery rate of 90%. The organization says that figure reflects what is possible when law enforcement collaboration and dedicated resources converge around a child in danger; it is a national measure, not a prediction for Douglas's case.
How to Provide Information to Phoenix Police
The City of Phoenix says people seeking to file a missing-person report or provide information should call Crime Stop at 602-262-6151. Online reporting is not available for missing- and unidentified-person cases.
Police have not released additional information about Douglas's disappearance. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Phoenix Police Department.
