WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah, Nov. 22, 2025 (Gephardt Daily) — West Valley City police have reported that a 6-year-old girl missing since Friday night has been found, and is safe.
“UPDATE: the child has been located and is safe. She’s being reunited with her family. Thank you to everyone who helped look for her,” says the WVCPD social media post, issued at 1:39 p.m. Saturday.
On Friday night, the child had been left with a family friend who was babysitting her, and a cousin of the child’s family came to the residence and took the girl without permission, West Valley City Police reported overnight.

No additional information was shared about how the child was located and recovered. It was not immediately clear whether Ngor may face charges in the case.
