We are deeply concerned and urgently reaching out to the community for help in locating Braxton Bowles, a 14-year-old girl who has been missing from Chandler, Arizona since March 19, 2025. Braxton’s family and friends are desperately seeking answers, and we need your assistance in spreading the word about his disappearance.
One of the most significant challenges in a missing child search is raising awareness. Without public knowledge that someone is missing, individuals who may have witnessed something crucial or even captured important details on their home security cameras may not realize they’ve seen something that could help. It is essential for everyone to understand the gravity of this situation, as a community united can significantly increase the chances of locating Braxton and ensuring his safe return.
Sadly, in situations like this, there hasn’t been an Amber Alert issued for Braxton, and without such an alert, it is up to us as a community to step up and help spread awareness. Social media and local networks are crucial tools in getting the word out to as many people as possible. The sooner we make people aware, the better the chance that someone may have helpful information that could lead to Braxton’s whereabouts.
We are calling on everyone to take action. Here are 10 Things We Can All Do to Raise Awareness and Help Find Braxton:
1. Share THIS Post
The most important thing you can do right now is share this post. Share it to your social media profiles, stories, and in relevant groups. The more people who see the message, the higher the chances someone will recognize something that could help bring Braxton home. You never know who might be in the right place at the right time.
2. Use the Comments for Quick Links
We will be posting additional links to platforms where Braxton’s information is being shared in the comments below. Please use these links to share to additional social media platforms and groups that can spread the message further. This is a collective effort, and every share counts.
3. Create TikTok Videos
If you’re active on TikTok, we encourage you to create videos about Braxton. Use the hashtag #FindBraxtonBowles and tag us at @MissingInAmericaNetwork. When you do, we’ll be able to amplify your post and reach more people who may be able to help. TikTok’s wide reach could bring Braxton’s face to an audience that may not be paying attention to other forms of media.
4. Post Flyers on Nextdoor
Nextdoor is a valuable resource for local communities, and it is an excellent way to reach people who live near Braxton’s last known location. Please share the flyer on Nextdoor and encourage others in your neighborhood to do the same. Each neighborhood is an additional set of eyes on the lookout for Braxton. Together, we can cover more ground.
5. Display the Flyer on Your Vehicle
We encourage everyone to print out a copy of the flyer and place it in your vehicle. Whenever you park in a public space—whether at a grocery store, a coffee shop, or a restaurant—your car becomes a moving, personal Amber Alert for Braxton. As you go about your day, you’ll be increasing the chances that someone will spot him or recall any details that might help in his search.
6. Display Flyers at Your Workplace
If possible, please print out a copy of the flyer and display it at your workplace. This is a simple yet effective way to increase visibility, especially if you work in a high-traffic area. Encourage your colleagues, customers, and clients to take a flyer to share with others. The more people who see Braxton’s picture and details, the greater the chance someone might have crucial information.
7. Distribute Flyers in Public Places
Public spaces such as grocery stores, coffee shops, churches, and community centers are places where people gather every day. Print a few extra copies of the flyer and ask permission to display them in these locations. People often go about their day unaware of the important information that might be passing by them, but displaying flyers will increase the likelihood that someone might recognize Braxton or remember something they saw.
8. Send Digital Flyers to Friends and Family
We can’t underestimate the power of personal networks. Text a digital flyer to all your family members, friends, and acquaintances. Ask them to share it on their own social media accounts and with anyone they know who might be able to help. The more people you ask to spread the word, the greater the chance of locating Braxton. Remember to follow up with them to ensure they’ve shared it widely.
9. Airdrop Flyers in Public Locations
Apple’s Airdrop feature can be a powerful tool in getting information into the hands of strangers. If you have an iPhone, consider Airdropping the flyer to others when you are in public places, such as restaurants, grocery stores, or nail salons. This can be an effective and discreet way to get the information into the hands of people who may not be paying attention to traditional media outlets but may have seen something that could be helpful.
10. Share the Flyer and Updates in News Comments
As news articles or posts about Braxton’s disappearance appear online, it’s important to keep sharing the flyer in the comment sections. Include a link to our group where updates and information are regularly posted. By commenting on articles or even entertainment posts that gain a lot of traffic, we can keep Braxton’s case at the forefront of people’s minds. Social media and comment sections are often where people go for information, so be sure to keep posting!
