An Amber Alert was issued on September 17, 2025, in Randolph County, North Carolina, for 1-year-old Iris Everly Marie Fargis, who was considered endangered and missing.

The alert led to a breakthrough when Iris was found safe in Sampson County, prompting authorities to cancel the Amber Alert.

Iris was last seen wearing an orange Halloween shirt with a white ghost and black tights with Halloween designs, and she is approximately 2 feet 1 inch tall, weighing 23 pounds.

She was believed to be with Tyler Ray Toodle, a 26-year-old man with a criminal history, including charges of domestic violence and assault, and distinctive tattoos such as '336' and 'Respect'.

Toodle is described as 6 feet tall, weighing about 175 pounds, with brown hair, blue eyes, acne scars, and tattoos on both arms, and he was last seen traveling in a black 2018 Honda Civic with dark tinted windows and license plate JMS6500.

Authorities continue to investigate the incident, which remains ongoing, and are seeking public assistance for information.

Law enforcement is urging anyone with information to contact the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office or call 911, emphasizing the importance of community help in resolving the case.

The suspects, believed to have ties to Sampson, Caswell, and Alamance counties, may still be traveling in the area, but their current direction is unknown.

The investigation aims to determine the circumstances of Iris’s disappearance and whether criminal charges will be filed against Toodle.

The last known location of Iris and Toodle was at 751 Hanner Road in Randleman, North Carolina, and they may still be traveling in the same vehicle.

The Amber Alert was canceled a few hours after Iris was located, indicating the situation was resolved or she was recovered.

This case demonstrates the effectiveness of the Amber Alert system in quickly disseminating information to locate missing children in danger.
