Aubree Chavez, a nine-year-old girl with brown hair and brown eyes, was last seen in Lancaster, Southern California, on July 19, 2021. Early in the inquiry authorities distributed alerts and entered her case with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children as concern for her welfare grew.

Investigators reported early leads suggesting Aubree might be with her parents, and later information raised the possibility she had been taken by her non-custodial parent or parents, which added urgency and complexity to the search. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department asked anyone with information to come forward.

Official reports state Aubree Chavez has been found alive; specific details about when and where she was located have not been released. If anyone in Lancaster or the surrounding area has information that could clarify what happened, please share it with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
