Jahessye Shochley, 5, Arizona Republic News
Glendale police have issued an Amber Alert for a 5-year-old girl who went missing Tuesday night, and are searching for a woman in a Chevrolet car who was seen in the area.
Jahessye is Black, approximately 3 feet 5 inches tall, weighs 55 pounds, and has black hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a white T-shirt, jeans and had her hair in a ponytail.
Jahessye Shockley is believed to have wandered out the front door of her home near Glendale and 45th avenues between 4 and 4:30 p.m. Tuesday. At the time, Jahessye was in the care of three siblings, the oldest of whom is 13, according to Sgt. Brent Coombs, a Glendale police spokesman.
Jahessye’s mother told police she arrived home after a brief errand to find her daughter missing. After about 30 minutes of searching around the apartment complex, the Glendale woman called police, Coombs said.
By early Wednesday, police sought a woman seen putting a child who had similar description to Jahessye in a car near where the girl was reported missing. The car is described as a dark-colored Chevrolet resembling a Malibu. It may be a 1998 to 2000 model, authorities said.
The woman is described as Black and about 5-foot-8, 120 pounds and between 25 and 30 years old. The woman apparently wore her hair in a bun and was last seen driving east on Glendale Avenue.
Police are looking to talk to her as soon as possible to determine whether she is connected.
The girl didn’t appear to resist. “It was very casual,” Coombs said.
Police say they aren’t clear Jahessye was abducted but issued an Amber Alert due to concerns about the length of time she has been missing.
“The time that has passed now has entered into an area where if it was just simply walking away we probably would have heard something by now,” Coombs said.
Investigators have deployed numerous resources to find the girl.
The Arizona Child Abduction Response Team, which includes the FBI, Chandler Police Department and the Arizona Department of Public Safety, are helping in the search.
Phoenix police air units have also flown in the area and early Wednesday, police stopped and searched vehicles driving in the neighborhood, Coombs said.
Glendale police K9s and bloodhounds have searched pools and dumpsters as well as the girl’s school, which Coombs said is a private school in Glendale.
Authorities are talking to the girl’s classmates and have checked on sex offenders in the area. Jahessye is considered an inquisitive child who could unlock a front door and wander to a neighbor’s house.
“She’s very well known in the area and plays with all the kids in the neighborhood,” Coombs said.
Police ask anyone with information to call 623-930-3000.
