Pasadena PD Locates Missing Three-Year Old Girl

At approximately 11:10 a.m. the Pasadena Police Department received a call reporting that a three-year old girl was missing from an apartment in the 1100 block of Sunset Street. It was reported that the little girl went missing sometime between the hours of 9:30 and 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, August 4 after a relative with whom she was staying fell asleep.

Almost immediately, the Pasadena Police department had dozens of personnel on the ground canvassing the area, knocking on doors and searching the surrounding parks. In addition the helicopter was overhead providing air surveillance and a reverse 9-1-1 call was attempted to alert residents in the immediate and surrounding neighborhoods. Search dogs were called in from surrounding jurisdictions. Ultimately, the little girl was found safe at about 1:30 p.m.

“The important lesson here, is how important it is for all of us to be hyper-vigilant with our little ones,” said Chief Bernard Melekian. “They can get away from us so quickly. I am pleased with how this department responded and even more pleased that this little girl was safely reunited with her family.”
