An amber alert was issued on Friday, March 29 after a Seattle woman kidnapped a child. Quiana Marks is accused of kidnapping Camara Vega, 2, out of a Daycare on Henderson.

An AMBER Alert was issued on Friday, March 29, 2025, following the reported abduction of 2-year-old Camara Vega from a daycare center located on Henderson Street in Seattle. The suspect, identified as 47-year-old Quiana Marks, allegedly took the child during daycare hours. Marks is described as 5 feet 2 inches tall, weighing 115 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. She is believed to be driving a gray Dodge 

The AMBER Alert system is a critical tool in the rapid dissemination of information regarding child abductions. In Washington State, the program is a collaborative effort involving law enforcement agencies, broadcasters, transportation departments, and the wireless industry. Its primary goal is to promptly engage the community in assisting with the safe recovery of abducted children by broadcasting pertinent details about the child, suspect, and vehicle involved. 

The effectiveness of the AMBER Alert system has been demonstrated in previous cases within the state. For instance, in May 2022, an AMBER Alert was issued for 8-year-old Kiya Matteson, who was abducted in Seattle. Thanks to the swift dissemination of information and community vigilance, Kiya was found safe shortly after the alert was activated. 

Similarly, in April 2022, a 3-year-old girl named Faith Collins was reported missing after a vehicle was stolen with her inside. An AMBER Alert was promptly issued, and within hours, Faith was located unharmed in Snohomish County, and reunited with her mother. 

These instances underscore the vital role that timely alerts and community involvement play in ensuring the safety and swift recovery of abducted children. As the search for Camara Vega continues, authorities urge anyone with information to come forward immediately to aid in her safe return.
