Authorities in Phoenix launched an urgent Amber Alert on May 9, 2026, for 5-day-old Ollie Olson, a newborn whose disappearance quickly drew widespread concern due to his age and reported medical needs. The case prompted a large-scale response across Arizona and captured the attention of communities statewide.
