An 8-year-old girl who went missing on tribal lands in northern Arizona was found dead Friday. Navajo Nation officials say Maleeka Boone was last seen Thursday evening in the Coalmine Canyon area, about 240 miles (386 kilometers) north of Phoenix. Authorities haven’t revealed details of her death. In a social media video, Navajo President Buu Nygren said Maleeka’s death was devastating. Her disappearance led to the issuance of a Turquoise Alert, an alert system for Native Americans who have gone missing.
