Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP137562)
Six‑year‑old Arabella Boggs, known to be sixteen at the time, had been reported missing after last being seen in West Palm Beach, Florida at the end of January 2025. Her disappearance prompted a concerted effort by law enforcement, led by the local sheriff’s office and coordinated through state and national missing persons registries, to locate her. Arabella was described as approximately 60 inches tall, weighing around 100 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.
Law enforcement officials urged the public to come forward with any relevant information—surveillance footage, witness accounts, or tips—that might assist in locating her.
In a related but distinct case, Arabella, aged sixteen, had also been the subject of a Missing Child Alert issued by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement after she went missing from a group home in Riverview, Florida. Reports indicated that she might have been using aliases such as Jennifer Whitehead or Tessa Montgomery and even claimed to be 24 years old. She was last seen around the 10100 block of Rose Petal Place, wearing a pink shirt, gray sweatpants, and black boots. Her appearance had changed significantly at that time; she was described as 5‑foot‑5, around 200 pounds, with a purple mohawk and brown eyes. Authorities advised the public not to approach her directly if seen, and to instead contact law enforcement immediately.
In a compassionate turn of events, law enforcement subsequently confirmed that Arabella was found safe. The Missing Child Alert initiated in the Riverview case was formally canceled, signaling the end of the urgent search.
Though specific details surrounding her recovery remain vague and the exact timing of when she was located has not been disclosed, the combined information from both reports portrays a picture of a worried community and law enforcement working diligently to ensure her safety. Arabella’s return, regardless of the limited particulars available, brings a measure of relief after the uncertainty that followed her disappearance in both West Palm Beach and Riverview.Last Seen: Jan 29, 2025
