Phoenix Police are asking the public for help locating Douglas, the juvenile identified in a missing-person appeal. Investigators have not said whether Douglas has been located since the appeal went out.
A Phoenix Police appeal seeks public help.
The November 13 Hoodline report identifies the juvenile in the appeal as Douglas.
Police Ask the Public to Call With Information
The department is directing anyone with information to call 602-262-6151 rather than respond through social media.
In the same post, Phoenix Police emphasized that social media comments and direct messages are not a valid way to report information to police, urging anyone who has seen Douglas to call instead.
Part of a Steady Stream of Juvenile Cases
Appeals like this one are not unusual for the department. A separate Hoodline report notes that Phoenix Police fields roughly 200 missing juvenile reports each month, a volume that helps explain why such notices appear regularly on the department's social accounts. The same pattern has played out in recent weeks: in September, the department sought help locating another missing juvenile identified as Velasco, and in October it asked for assistance finding 17-year-old Jazzell Ann Avalos, according to a Hoodline article on the department's missing-juvenile appeals.
National data cited in Hoodline's coverage offers some broader context, though it has not been independently verified against underlying agency reports. The FBI's 2025 NCIC report counted 88,093 active missing-person records nationwide as of December 31, 2025, including 21,487 involving juveniles under 18, the outlet reported. NCMEC's 2025 impact report cited a national recovery rate of 90%.
No update on Washington's whereabouts has been provided beyond the initial appeal. Anyone with information is asked to call the Phoenix Police Department at 602-262-6151.
