Who says TV is no good? A&E’s “Live PD” just helped find a missing nine-year-old girl when an eagle-eyed viewer called in with a tip. Mariah Martinez, who had been missing for more than a year, was recovered safely on Monday.
Martinez, who is from Lubbock, Texas, was reported missing on Oct. 21, 2016. She was found at a residence in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
“Live PD” has been working with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) since last October, pointing viewers to pressing cases. Martinez’s story was featured during the live show last Friday, March 23, and the following day a viewer called the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children tip line with possible information about the child’s location.
