Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP147691)
Deniyah Karisma Williams was reported missing from Wilmington, Delaware, after last contact on April 14, 2025. At the time she was listed as 17 years old, and public missing-child records later listed her age as 18. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children’s Delaware listing identified her as missing from Wilmington and directed anyone with information to contact the New Castle County Police Department at 1-302-573-2800.
Public case information described Deniyah as a Black / African American female with black hair and brown eyes. She was listed at approximately 5 feet 4 inches tall and about 160 pounds. Her case was associated with NamUs missing-person case MP147691 and NCMEC case number 2048678, with the New Castle County Police Department identified as the investigating agency. The agency case information in the provided NamUs data lists the report date as April 14, 2025, the same date as her last known contact.
The available public description of the circumstances was limited. It stated that Deniyah may have remained in the local area or may have traveled to Wilmington, Delaware. She was also noted to possibly use several nicknames, including Niy, Niyah, Niya, Niyahh, or Daniyah. Those alternate names were important because someone who had seen or spoken with her may have known her by a nickname rather than by her full legal name.
The provided NamUs API data indicates that the case resolution status is Alive and that the lifecycle status is Archived. This means Deniyah has been found alive and this is no longer an active missing-person case. The exact date she was located is not clear from the available information, and the public resolution details are vague, so no specific recovery date can be responsibly stated.
Deniyah’s case reflects the urgency and emotional weight that surrounds missing-child reports, especially when details are limited and families, investigators, and communities are left hoping for safe news. In this case, the most important outcome reflected in the available case data is that Deniyah was located alive.Last Seen: Apr 14, 2025
