Arizona Issues Second Statewide Turquoise Alert for Missing Teen Girl

Mesa police and the Arizona Department of Public Safety have issued a Turquoise Alert for 16-year-old Yolyn Hermios, a Pacific Islander girl reported missing since the evening of November 1 near Dobson and Broadway roads in Mesa, Arizona. Yolyn was last seen on foot wearing a black shirt, red shorts, and black shoes, with distinctive green faded highlights in her brown hair. The alert, part of "Emily's Law," is activated when a person under 65 goes missing under suspicious circumstances, and all local resources have been exhausted, indicating concern for her safety. Authorities urge the public to remain vigilant and immediately report any information by calling Mesa Police or dialing 911. This is only the second time the Turquoise Alert has been issued in Arizona, highlighting the urgency of the situation. Family members have expressed significant concern as it is unusual for Yolyn to be absent for long periods.
