Officials with the department state that on Aug. 25, 2024, around 10 p.m., the three girls, 14-year-old Amoria Brown, her three-week-old daughter Omoria Brown, and Amoria’s sister-in-law, 15-year-old Sanaii Brown were last seen in the 5200 block of East Huntington Drive. Police believe they were headed to the high desert area with family.

The descriptions of the girls are as follows:

Amoria has black hair and brown eyes, is 5 feet 4 inches tall, and weighs approximately 140 pounds. She was last seen wearing a multicolored shirt, gray shorts, and gray sandals.

NBC News reported that Amoria’s guardian, Raquel Brown, claims the 14-year-old contacted the family to let them know they were OK.

“It’s just a lot right now; trying to take it all in, trying to process it,” said Raquel. “I just want the baby to be OK. She’s not a bad mom. I’m not going to say that she’s bad. She’s young. I can’t just expect her to change overnight, so I do want to make that clear, but I’m here to help.”

Amoria’s family has stated that only Sanaii has reunited with the family since the police department released the Ebony Alert.
