Colorado River Indian Tribes issue urgent missing-child notice for Aubree Healey

Colorado River Indian Tribes posted an urgent missing-child notice for Aubree Healey early June 3, putting her case before readers across the Colorado River Indian Tribes reservation, Parker and western La Paz County as a time-sensitive public-safety alert. The short notice signaled that officials wanted broad awareness fast, the kind of response that can matter in a rural county where tips may come from family networks, river access points, local businesses and neighborhoods.

National Center for Missing & Exploited Children lists Healey as a 14-year-old girl from Avondale, Arizona, missing since April 15, 2026. The organization’s poster ties the case to NCIC# M978897076 and poster number 2085424, and says Healey may still be in the local area. NCMEC lists the Avondale Police Department as the contact agency, with the department’s number shown on the poster as 623-333-7001.

For La Paz County residents, the notice carries particular weight because Parker and the surrounding river communities often sit at the crossroads of tribal, county and state activity. A missing-child alert can move quickly through those overlapping spaces, reaching people who may be traveling near the river, working near housing and commerce corridors, or spending time in parks and gathering places where a child might be seen. In a region with limited local-news bandwidth, an official tribal notice can become one of the fastest ways to push a child-safety alert outward.

The timing also shows how tribal communications can function as an emergency amplifier. CRIT Manataba Messenger published the item at 1:09 a.m. June 3, giving the alert a direct official channel rather than leaving it to informal sharing. That matters in a case involving a child, where every additional set of eyes can help expand the search radius and surface a tip that reaches the right agency.

The federal AMBER Alert in Indian Country initiative is designed to help tribal communities coordinate with local, state and federal partners to recover endangered missing or abducted children. Healey’s case sits squarely within that framework: a tribal notice, a national missing-child poster and a named police contact all point to the same urgent need, getting accurate information to the people most likely to help bring her home.
