Missing 13-year-old Alejandra Ornelas 

Original Post

There is very little information about the disappearance of 13-year-old Alejandra Ornelas from her Phoenix, Arizona home on November 15, 2006.

missing personI received a missing poster from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children today regarding her disappearance. Her case is classified as a non-family abduction. I wonder why the news media has not picked up this story yet - I have not been able to locate any news coverage regarding her apparent abduction by a non-family member.

The only information on the poster regarding her disappearance is the following:

Alejandra was last seen at home on the evening of November 15, 2006. She has pierced ears.

I often find myself wondering why some stranger abduction cases receive little to no coverage while other cases are issued Amber Alerts and the news coverage is extensive.

Alejandra Ornelas is a 13-year-old White/Hispanic female who stands 5′2″ tall and weighs approximately 110 lbs. She has black hair and black eyes.

According to a notification received today via email from the NCMEC Alejandra Ornelas has been recovered. There is no further information regarding this case and there is no further information in the media. I am glad she has been located and is safe.
