14-Year-Old Rescued After Heart-Wrenching 3-Month Search

Adriana Del Angel-Rivera, a 14-year-old girl from Maricopa, Arizona, has been found safe after being missing for over three months. The Maricopa Police Department confirmed that she was located in Phoenix on August 24.

Adriana disappeared on May 16, failing to return to her group home after attending school. This incident marked the second time she went missing since 2021, when she was located four days later in Mesa.

Chris Castorena from Arizona Private Investigation Services, who participated in the search, reported that Adriana is currently receiving necessary support. He added that the organization is working to identify individuals who may have concealed her whereabouts, seeking potential charges related to child endangerment.

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has reported that four other children from Maricopa are still missing.
