Amber Alert Issued for 3-Year-Old Girl Allegedly Kidnapped in Avondale​

An Amber Alert has been issued following the reported abduction of a 3-year-old girl from her home in Avondale, Arizona, on Friday night. The child, identified as Kehlani Marie Rogers, was last seen residing near the intersection of 118th Avenue and Edgemont Street, just south of Thomas Road.

Authorities with the Avondale Police Department have described Kehlani as a Black girl, standing approximately 3 feet tall with a slender build, hazel eyes, and brown hair. At the time of her disappearance, she was wearing pink pajamas and had braids.

Police indicate that Kehlani was last seen in the company of a woman identified only as “Merena.” This individual is described as a short, thin white female with brown hair, which was styled in a ponytail, and hazel eyes. She was reportedly wearing a white shirt paired with pink or purple pants at the time of the incident.

The Avondale Police Department is urging anyone who may have information regarding Kehlani’s whereabouts or the circumstances surrounding her abduction to reach out by calling (623) 333-7000. The alert has generated significant concern within the community as the search for the young girl continues.

Authorities are treating this situation with urgency and are utilizing all available resources in their effort to locate Kehlani and ensure her safe return. Community members are also being encouraged to remain vigilant and report any relevant sightings or information that could assist in the investigation.
 
Someone correct me if I am wrong but did we not just have another recent child from Avondale. Isn't that the place I looked up and thought it was southern AZ and then was told it was a reservation and the north? Same thing just happened when I looked it up. Last time I think when I looked further, I saw three places with that name, whether towns or what not in various areas in the State.

If it's the same place then boy that seems pretty significant.

My first thought on a white female? Sounds the opposite of what some white liars say when making something up, it was a black or Hispanic person...

Don't know enough though. Just first impressions.

What a beautiful child. What is WRONG with people?!!!

Phoenix movers spot Amber Alert suspect at gas station, block her car until police arrive​

A Valley moving company played a large role in helping to save a young girl who was allegedly abducted from her Avondale home.


Camelback Moving shared video with FOX 10, showing some of their workers at the QuikTrip.

A security guard who first spotted a woman and child matching those in the Amber Alert description enlisted the help of the Camelback Moving crew to help with the situation.

"Oh my God, that's her," said one of the Camelback Moving employees.

"Is it really?" another employee asked.

"Yep, that's her. Looks like her. That's exactly what she looks like," the employee replied.

The moving crew then used their trucks to block Noriega's vehicle, trapping her in the parking lot until police arrived at the scene.

Officials with Camelback Moving say they recently began training employees in human-trafficking awareness training.

"We are incredibly proud of our community heroes for their courage, quick thinking and teamwork," Camelback Moving President Chad Olsen said. "Their actions exemplify what it means to look out for our community and to take its safety seriously. This is a powerful reminder that the Amber Alert system works. We also want to express our sincere gratitude that Kehlani was safely returned to her family."
