Arizona Cancels First Turquoise Alert After Girl Found

Arizona issued its first-ever Turquoise Alert on July 23, 2025, for 6-year-old Violet Coultas, who was reportedly abducted by her non-custodial mother, Sarah Coultas, after being last seen in Hawaii on July 6 and later at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport on July 12. Sarah Coultas was wanted for violating a court order related to custodial interference. The Turquoise Alert, created under Emily's Law, is designed to help locate at-risk missing persons under 65, addressing cases not covered by Amber Alerts. Authorities had been searching for Violet and Sarah across Arizona, suspecting they might be traveling in a silver Toyota Corolla. The alert was canceled after Violet was located, though officials have not released details about her recovery. Law enforcement urges the public to report any information about similar cases to authorities immediately.
