An 8-year-old girl who was reported missing Thursday in the community of Coalmine on the Navajo Nation has been found dead. A Turquoise Alert had been issued early Friday morning.

Veteran Flagstaff outdoor photographer John Burcham is recovering from a recent rock-climbing accident in a remote Sedona canyon.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety, which reviews and distributes all statewide alerts for missing people, says the new Turquoise Alert system is working as intended.

Officer Jacob Buckwald resigned from the Flagstaff Police Department after two crashes while on-duty in just over a year, including one Saturday that resulted in the death of another driver.

Gov. Katie Hobbs announced Thursday that the new Turquoise Alert System is now online. The system is designed to help locate missing Indigenous or endangered persons.

Tribal leaders say a coordinated alert system for missing Indigenous people could save lives in Arizona.

Authorities are searching for three members of a family who were traveling from the Grand Canyon to Las Vegas last week as a major winter storm triggered a 22-vehicle crash on Interstate 40.

Authorities identified the two people killed in Thursday's fiery 22-vehicle pile-up that occurred during a snowstorm on Interstate 40 near Williams.

An investigation determined the man wanted in connection with a domestic violence incident was unarmed when he was fatally shot by a Prescott police officer in June.

A Silver Alert has been issued for 39-year-old Daniel Burdick of St. Johns. Officials say Burdick has a condition that can cause him to become lost or easily confused. He was last seen Sunday morning.
