UPDATE: Chicago police have confirmed this morning that Maria Miranda and her two daughters were found safe in Arizona, but didn't immediately have details.

Chicago police are searching today for a 41-year-old woman and her two daughters, ages 19 and 1, who went missing last Tuesday from the city's Brighton Park neighborhood.

Maria Miranda has threatened to kill herself and her two daughters Victoria Ortega, 19 and Mariana Gomez, 1, police said, describing the three as "endangered missings."

The three were last seen May 1 on the 2800 block of West 38th Street on the Southwest Side, police said. The police did not have descriptions of the clothing worn by the three, but said they may possibly have a blue stroller and a black backpack, police said.

All are described as being Hispanic with olive complexions, brown eyes and black hair, police said. Miranda is 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs about 220 pounds, Ortega is 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 160 pounds, and the toddler is about 3 feet tall and weighs 30 pounds, police said.

Anyone with information on the family's whereabouts should contact the Area Central Special Victims Unit at (312) 747-8380.
