In the quiet community of Bethel, Alaska, concern grew for 17-year-old Mandy Marie Jones, an American Indian/Alaska Native female who was last seen on February 6, 2024.

The Bethel Police Department, along with the Alaska State Troopers, were the primary agencies involved in the search for the missing teenager. Her case was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) as MP117994, and a case was also opened with the Alaska State Troopers, number AK24023362. The community held onto hope for her safe return as law enforcement followed any leads that came in. The uncertainty surrounding her whereabouts was a source of great anxiety for those who knew her and for the wider community. Fortunately, this period of distress came to an end when Mandy Marie Jones was located and confirmed to be alive. While specific details surrounding her recovery and the exact date she was found have not been publicly disclosed, the news that she is safe has brought immense relief. The resolution of her case marks the conclusion of a difficult chapter for her and her loved ones.
