A heartbreaking search continues for 5-year-old Diega Rebecca Alvarado Madrid, and investigators are pleading with the public to help bring her home safely before it is too late.
According to authorities, Diega has been missing since April 15, 2025, after she was last seen in Golden Valley. Nearly a year later, the little girl’s whereabouts remain unknown, leaving family members devastated and law enforcement agencies racing against time for answers.
Officials say Diega may currently be in the company of her mother, Maxi M. Madrid, age 50. Investigators believe they may still be somewhere in Arizona, but there are growing concerns they could also travel or already be in Nevada.
Now, authorities are asking people across the country to pay close attention.
Because one shared post, one sighting, or one phone call could change everything.
Cases involving missing children are always emotionally devastating, but the disappearance of a child this young strikes especially hard. At only five years old, Diega should be spending her days surrounded by love, safety, school, and childhood memories — not at the center of a nationwide search effort.

Every day without answers increases concern for her safety.
Investigators have not released extensive public details about the circumstances surrounding her disappearance, but officials continue working aggressively to locate Diega and ensure she is safe. Family members remain deeply worried as the uncertainty surrounding the case continues.
The emotional impact of cases like this spreads far beyond one family.
Across social media, thousands of people have already begun sharing Diega’s information, hoping it reaches someone who may have seen her. Photos of the missing child continue circulating online as communities unite in the desperate hope of bringing her home alive and unharmed.
And sadly, authorities know that time matters enormously in missing child investigations.
The first days and weeks are often critical. But even months later, public awareness can still play a major role in solving cases. Many missing children have been found because an ordinary person recognized a face from a shared social media post, news article, or missing persons alert.
That is exactly why officials are urging the public not to scroll past this story.
Someone, somewhere, may know something.
Even the smallest detail — a recent sighting, a remembered conversation, or unusual travel activity — could help investigators piece together the truth.
The Mohave County Sheriff’s Office is continuing its investigation and urges anyone with information to contact authorities immediately. Officials stress that no tip is too small when a child’s safety is involved.
If you have seen Diega Rebecca Alvarado Madrid or have any information about where she may be, please call the Mohave County Sheriff’s Office at (928) 753-0753 immediately.
Authorities have also provided the following official case information:
• NCMEC Case #: 2048695
• NCIC #: M238554358
The case has now gained broader attention online, with advocates for missing children continuing to push for increased awareness. Many supporters say they refuse to let Diega’s name disappear from public attention until answers are found.
And that matters more than people realize.
In today’s world, viral awareness can sometimes become one of the strongest tools investigators have. A single share can place information in front of the exact person who recognizes a face, remembers a vehicle, or notices suspicious activity.
That is why so many people are now asking others to continue reposting Diega’s story across every platform possible.
Because behind every missing child flyer is a real child.
A real family.
And real people desperately waiting for a miracle.
As the search continues, supporters across the country are holding onto hope that Diega will be found safe and reunited with loved ones. Until then, authorities and family members are asking the public to stay alert, continue sharing her information, and help keep this case visible.
Somewhere out there, someone may know exactly where Diega Rebecca Alvarado Madrid is.
The question now is: will the right person see her story in time to help bring her home?
