On a Tuesday in the winter of 2025, a 16-year-old female named Diamond Lashelle Renee Ellison was last seen in Christiana, Tennessee. Described as being 5'3' tall and weighing 180 pounds, with black hair styled in long red braids, her disappearance prompted the involvement of the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office. Information provided to the public indicated that Diamond was believed to still be in the Christiana area after she was last seen. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation also became involved, amplifying the call for any information regarding her whereabouts.
The circumstances surrounding Diamond's disappearance were that she left her residence at approximately 3:54 in the afternoon. Authorities and her community grew increasingly concerned for her welfare as time passed with no contact. Public alerts described her physical characteristics and the area where she was last seen, urging anyone with information to come forward. The case was shared through various channels, including being featured as part of a '#MissingMonday' campaign to raise awareness about her and other missing juveniles in Tennessee.
Prior to this incident, in June of 2025, a 15-year-old Diamond Ellison had been reported missing from the Murfreesboro area as a runaway, alongside another teenager. In that instance, she was located safely in Nashville by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department. It is unclear if this previous disappearance is connected to her current missing person case. The investigation into Diamond Ellison's disappearance from Christiana remains an active effort to bring her home safely. Law enforcement agencies continue to ask for the public's assistance, emphasizing that any small detail could be crucial in locating her.
