Employees from Camelback Moving Company spotted a missing 3-year-old who matched the description of an Amber Alert entering a convenience store with her abductor and quickly jumped into action to save the young girl by blocking the kidnapper's car until police arrived.

Last Saturday, an Amber Alert was issued for 3-year-old Kehlani Rogers. Fortunately, she has been found, unharmed, by some unexpected heroes.

According to the Amber Alert issued by the Avondale Police Department in Arizona, Kehlani had last been seen at her home in Avondale on Friday night. Kehlani's parents had welcomed a woman named "Merena," who they assumed was about 30 years old, into their home after she appeared, asking for help.


When the Rogers family woke up Saturday morning, they discovered that their daughter and "Merena" were missing, and the Amber Alert was issued shortly after.

Someone who called in an anonymous tip after the Amber Alert was issued said they'd given a ride to a young woman and a little girl who matched the physical descriptions of the Amber Alert. According to the tip, the woman told the driver that Kehlani was her daughter, and they were on their way to California.

Fortunately, the pair stopped at a QuikTrip gas station, where fate would soon intervene.

Just before 7:00 AM on Sunday morning, just outside Phoenix, Arizona, several employees from Camelback Moving Company had stopped at the QuikTrip on their way to a job, when they noticed a young woman and a little girl getting out of a pickup truck outside the convenience store.

One of the employees immediately pointed out the 3-year-old and pulled up the recent Amber Alert.

"Oh my god, that's her."
"That's exactly what she looks like."

The employees of the Camelback Moving Company then moved their truck to block the only exit that the woman could use, preventing her from leaving before the police arrived.

The police were quickly able to identify Kehlani Rogers and reunite her with her family.

"Merena" has since been identified as 23-year-old Marina Noriega, who has since been taken into custody. She's now facing felony charges for custody interference.

Before the charges were made, Noriega attempted to tell the police that she was actually Kehlani's biological mother and that Kehlani had been stolen from her at the hospital, and this was her attempt to get her back. Noriega eventually admitted that she was lying about her relationship with Kehlani, which might further impact her charges.

Melania Just Held A Bizarre Press Conference To Debunk 'False Smears' Related To Jeffrey Epstein—And Everyone Had The Same Response

First Lady Melania Trump had everyone thinking the same thing after she held a bizarre press conference on Thursday to deny that she had anything but casual ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier, pedophile, sexual abuser, and sex trafficker.

Mrs. Trump publicly denied any ties to convicted sex offenders Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, saying claims linking her to Epstein are “lies” meant to damage her reputation. She said she met her husband, President Donald Trump at a New York City party in 1998 and did not meet Epstein until 2000, contradicting a witness statement in the Epstein files that alleges Epstein introduced the couple.

Dem Rep. Sarah McBride Perfectly Shames Nancy Mace For Her Transphobic Response To McBride's Condemnation Of Trump

Delaware Democratic Representative Sarah McBride pushed back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace responded with transphobia to McBride's criticism of President Donald Trump's genocidal threat to kill the "whole civilization" of Iran.

Trump has insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

Comedian Explains How Millennials' Midlife Crises Are Different From Past Generations—And He's Spot On

Don't make promises you cannot keep, unless your goal is to hurt someone.

Millennials know that practically better than anyone. They were fed a long and impassioned series of advice, hyper-focused on the importance of getting a college degree in order to find a good job. They were also force-fed traditionalist ideals of getting married, having kids, and buying a nice house with the money they'd be making from that great job, of course.
