Izel Yaya Yariza Olivas was 14 when she was reported missing from Maricopa, Arizona, on October 2, 2025. She was last seen after spending the evening with a friend in the Senita neighborhood and did not return to her foster home. Investigators classified her as endangered in part because she had no cellphone and reportedly had no nearby relatives to contact or stay with.

Police developed information suggesting she might have traveled away from Maricopa and possibly been in Phoenix or Mesa, but no confirmed public sighting or person of contact was announced. By January 2026, more than three months after she disappeared, Maricopa police still listed her as endangered and were actively searching. She was described as about 5 feet 5 inches, 135 pounds, brown eyes, red-dyed hair and a nose piercing.

A later update from a missing-person organization states she was found, but the notice did not say when, where, who located her, or her condition when found. If anyone in Senita, Phoenix or Mesa knew Izel or has information about her whereabouts during that period, please share what was seen or known.
