**UPDATED 5/24/24, 9:05 p.m.
Missing 12-year old, Emerald Walker, has been found by Tiburon PD and is safe.
After extensive investigation by Tiburon PD, the Sacramento County Sheriff's office conducted a welfare check at an address in Sacramento where we believed Emerald to be present.
Emerald was located at the address and is safe.
Tiburon Police Officers responded to Sacramento and brought Emerald back to Marin County. Our investigation determined Emerald was not the victim of a crime, left her home voluntarily, and traveled to the address in Sacramento on her own free will.
We would like to thank our law enforcement partners and community members for their diligent work and genuine support that brought this evening to a happy end.

We want to update the community in the effort to locate 12-year-old Emerald Walker. The Tiburon Police Department is working on several leads related to Emerald's whereabouts. We have obtained information that indicates she is not in Tiburon (or Marin County) and is in contact with some of her peers.
There is no indication at this time that Emerald is in danger, but until she is safely back with her family, our efforts to locate her will remain undiminished. The Tiburon Police Department has assigned extra officers for the search and to investigate leads. We encourage anyone who might be in contact with Emerald to reach out to our agency at 415-789-2801.
