Alexa Meza-Estrada, a 14-year-old female from Maricopa, Arizona, was last seen on March 29, 2026. Public missing-child records identify her as Hispanic, with black hair and brown eyes, and list Maricopa as the location from which she went missing. The available records provide no publicly confirmed detailed account of the circumstances surrounding her disappearance on that date, including the precise location, time of day, clothing, or events immediately preceding her being reported missing. A missing-child listing continues to identify her by name, age, gender, and March 29 disappearance date and directs anyone with information to contact the Phoenix Police Department or the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
The March 29 disappearance was not the first time Alexa had been reported missing during 2026. Publicly available case information states that she had previously been reported missing in Buckeye on January 27 and was subsequently found. In that earlier incident, the Buckeye Police Department described Alexa as a runaway juvenile and reported that she and another missing girl had been located and were safe. Contemporary reporting from the Buckeye area said Alexa had been last seen near Yuma Road and Jackrabbit Trail and provided a physical description that included a height of approximately 5 feet 6 inches and a weight of about 115 pounds. That earlier episode therefore ended with Alexa being located safely, but the later March disappearance represented another occurrence rather than a continuation of the January incident.
Records concerning Alexa also describe another missing-person episode in February. According to a subsequently published missing-child account, the Gilbert Police Department reported Alexa missing on February 15 after she went missing in Chandler. That account characterized the March 29 report as a new occurrence and noted that the earlier disappearances had been treated as presumed runaway incidents. The same source emphasized that a juvenile being presumed to have run away does not resolve the underlying concern for the child's welfare. Public information surrounding the February episode is limited, and the available sources do not provide a complete chronological account of how or when Alexa was located following that report.
The circumstances surrounding the March 29 disappearance remain unusually sparse in publicly accessible records. The available missing-child alert does not state a specific last-seen address or landmark, does not provide a time of last sighting, and does not identify what Alexa was wearing when she disappeared. It also does not describe a vehicle, companion, destination, suspected travel route, or other circumstance that would establish what happened after she was last seen. Because those details have not been established in the sources reviewed, the public record leaves significant portions of the timeline unknown. The information that is available instead centers on identifying Alexa and ensuring that any person who encounters her or has relevant information knows where to report it.
The case has drawn continued attention because Alexa was only 14 and had experienced multiple missing-person reports within a relatively short period. A current public listing continues to include Alexa Meza-Estrada among missing children, while another current page specifically identifies her as a 14-year-old from Maricopa and retains the March 29, 2026 missing date. The Phoenix Police Department is identified as the investigating agency for information concerning her whereabouts, with the listed telephone number being 602-262-6151; the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children is also identified as a reporting resource.
Taken together, the publicly documented history describes a young girl who had already been reported missing and safely located earlier in 2026 before another disappearance was reported from Maricopa on March 29. The earlier incidents were described publicly as runaway episodes, but the March occurrence was treated as a separate missing-child case, and publicly available records do not supply enough information to reconstruct what led to her disappearance or what may have occurred afterward. Alexa's age, the repeated nature of the reports, the limited public information about her movements, and the continuing request for information make the case one in which even seemingly minor information could be important to authorities. The overall case remains centered on the effort to establish Alexa's whereabouts and bring clarity to what happened after she was last seen in Maricopa on March 29, 2026.
