Arizona officials have issued an alert for a missing 8-year-old girl who vanished on Thursday
Navajo Times reported that Maleeka Boone was last seen in the vicinity of Coalmine, near the Coalmine Navajo Housing. Boone was reported missing on Thursday, and a Turquoise Alert was issued the following day.
A Turquoise Alert was activated in this case because Boone is Native and Coalmine is located in the Navajo Nation.
KPHO reported that it is not normal for Boone to be gone this long.
Boone was described as standing 4 feet, 5 inches tall, weighing between 50 and 60 pounds, and having brown eyes and brown hair. She was last seen wearing a red jacket, blue jeans, and cowboy boots.
Anyone with information regarding Boone’s whereabouts should call the Navajo Police Department Tuba City District at 928-283-3111 or 928-283-3112.
