Thirteen-year-old Zahara Smith was reported missing from Omaha, Nebraska, with the publicly listed missing date of January 10, 2026. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children listed her as “Age Now: 13” and “Missing From Omaha, NE,” while the Nebraska missing-children RSS listing also identified her as missing from Omaha on January 10, 2026.
The available public information is sparse, but what is known establishes that Zahara was a child at the time she disappeared and that her case was entered into public missing-child channels so that community members, agencies, and anyone who may have seen her could help bring information forward.
The public notice connected to Zahara’s case directs anyone with information to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office in Nebraska at 1-402-444-5804, and NCMEC’s public poster information also lists the 24-hour national call center at 1-800-843-5678. Those contact details are important because the available online records do not describe the precise circumstances of where in Omaha Zahara was last seen, who she may have been with, what she may have been wearing, or whether investigators publicly identified any direction of travel. In the absence of those details, the case rests publicly on a few central facts: Zahara Smith, a 13-year-old girl, was missing from Omaha, Nebraska, as of January 10, 2026, and authorities asked that tips be routed through official law-enforcement and missing-child channels.
Nebraska State Patrol’s missing-persons page explains that the state maintains a searchable missing-persons resource that can be searched by name, reporting agency, gender, race, and age classification, reflecting the broader system through which missing-person information may be organized and accessed in Nebraska. That statewide context matters because a missing child’s case can involve local law enforcement, statewide missing-person systems, and national organizations such as NCMEC, all working from the same urgent premise: a child is absent from safety, and even a small piece of information from the public may matter.
There is no attached API case-resolution data indicating that Zahara Smith has been found alive or located deceased, and the online sources reviewed here do not provide a confirmed resolution. Because the publicly available information does not establish an outcome, Zahara’s story remains, in the public record reviewed, a missing-child case built around a limited but serious set of details. The overview of the case is that Zahara Smith, a 13-year-old girl from Omaha, Nebraska, was listed as missing on January 10, 2026; her case was publicized through NCMEC-related sources; the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office was identified as the agency to contact with information; and the public record offers few details beyond the appeal for help, leaving the focus on Zahara’s safety, the need for credible tips, and the hope that official channels can bring clarity for her and those who care about her.Last Seen: Jan 10, 2026
