Maricopa police are asking for the public’s help locating a missing 16-year-old girl who was last seen Saturday at her home in Maricopa.
Emma Raffaele has not returned home, and her family is growing increasingly concerned for her safety. Authorities believe she may be attempting to reach a relative’s home somewhere in the Phoenix area.
Emma is described as 5 feet tall and weighing approximately 120 pounds. She has brown hair, brown eyes and multiple facial piercings.
She was last seen wearing a green sweater, blue jeans and black shoes.
Anyone who has seen Emma or has information about her whereabouts is asked to contact the Maricopa Police Department’s non-emergency line at 520-568-3673.
Emma’s disappearance comes as Maricopa police continue to search for another missing teen, 14-year-old Izel “Yaya” Olivas, who has been listed as endangered since disappearing from the Senita neighborhood more than three months ago.
