Emma Raffaele, a teen from Maricopa, Arizona, was first reported missing from her home on January 11, 2026. At that time she was 16 and described as 5 feet to 5 feet 4 inches tall, about 120 pounds, with brown hair, brown eyes and multiple facial piercings. She was last seen wearing a green sweater, blue jeans and black shoes. Authorities believed she might have been trying to reach a relative in the Phoenix area and the Maricopa Police Department asked the public for help.

In April 2026 there was a report that Emma and another missing teenage girl from Queen Creek had been found and were safe. That development was followed in May 2026, when Emma, then reported as 17, was again missing from Mesa. This was not the first time she had been reported missing, and the repeated disappearances have prompted renewed searches each time and continued concern from family and the community.

What information might help show Emma’s movements between reports of her being safe and the May 2026 disappearance?
