Phoenix — Authorities have canceled a Turquoise Alert issued for 6-year-old Violet Coultas, who was reported missing after being last seen at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport on July 12. The alert, which was activated on behalf of the Hawaii Police Department, was established as a precautionary measure following concerns about the welfare of the child.
The alert, raised on Wednesday, was designed to solicit public assistance in locating Violet, who was reportedly traveling with her mother, Sarah Coultas, 48. It was initiated due to allegations that Sarah fled Hawaii with Violet in violation of a court order.
According to the information provided by the authorities, Violet was last observed at the airport at approximately 10:01 p.m. She is described as having a height of 3 feet 10 inches, with blonde hair and hazel eyes. At the time of her disappearance, she was wearing a distinctive outfit that included a white shirt, a pink jacket, a pink sweater, light-colored shorts, and white shoes.
In relation to the case, Sarah Coultas is reported to be 5 feet 11 inches tall, with brown hair and hazel eyes. The details regarding her actions prior to the alert being issued suggest a serious breach of legal custody arrangements, raising concerns within law enforcement about the safety of Violet.
While the Turquoise Alert has been canceled, local authorities have not provided additional details regarding the outcome of this case or the current status of Violet and her mother. The Hawaii Police Department has encouraged individuals who may have information related to this incident to contact them directly at (808) 935-3311.
This situation follows a previous alert that had been updated on June 23, 2025, under similar circumstances. The implementation of the Turquoise Alert system is designed to quickly disseminate information about missing children to the public, facilitating swift intervention and support from the community.
As the investigation continues, police remain vigilant in their efforts to ensure the safety of all children and to uphold the enforcement of protective court orders. Authorities have emphasized the importance of public awareness in cases of missing children, and they continue to appeal to the public for assistance in gathering further information that could aid in locating missing individuals.
Community members are encouraged to remain alert and notify law enforcement if they come across any information that could provide clarity or assistance in this particular case. The quick action of the alert system and community involvement can often make a significant difference in outcomes involving missing children.
For ongoing updates or further inquiries, members of the community are advised to follow local news channels and the official social media channels of law enforcement agencies.
