Kari Ann Steele is publicly listed as a missing child from Minneapolis, Minnesota, with the most direct online alert stating that she was last seen on November 22, 2025. The alert identifies her as a 16-year-old female in the United States, with black hair and brown eyes, and lists her race/skin color as White. It gives her missing-from location as Minneapolis, Minnesota, and asks the public to treat any possible information seriously, even if it may seem small or uncertain.
The alert directs tips to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-843-5678 and to the Minneapolis Police Department at 1-612-348-2345.
The available public information about the November 2025 disappearance is limited, which leaves the story of Kari’s last known movements incomplete. What is known from the listed alert is that Kari was last seen on November 22, 2025, in Minneapolis, and that those sharing her information were asking for immediate help from anyone who might know where she was or who may have seen something connected to her disappearance. No publicly available non-video source located in this search provided a detailed timeline of where in Minneapolis she was last seen, what she may have been wearing, who she may have been with, or the circumstances under which she disappeared. Because of that, the case remains framed in public sources around the essentials: a teenage girl, identified as Kari Ann Steele, missing from Minneapolis, with authorities and child-safety advocates asking the public to come forward with information.
Kari’s name has appeared in other public missing-child records before the November 2025 Minneapolis alert. A National Center for Missing & Exploited Children poster lists Kari Steele under a separate missing date of May 1, 2025, from Saint Paul, Minnesota, with the Saint Paul Police Department and NCMEC listed as contacts; that poster identifies her as female and gives the NCMEC case number 2050487. Public news reporting also shows that, in 2023, Kari Steele was one of two teenage girls reported missing from Prior Lake, Minnesota; FOX 9 reported that 13-year-old Kari Steele and 15-year-old Keira Dupey had left a facility in Prior Lake on May 25, 2023, and that investigators believed they may have traveled to St. Paul or a nearby suburb. In that earlier report, Kari was described as 5 feet 2 inches tall, about 100 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.
That earlier 2023 Prior Lake case later ended with the two girls being found safe in Michigan, according to subsequent public reporting that cited the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and Prior Lake Police canceling the alert. That earlier resolution does not resolve the later November 2025 Minneapolis listing, but it provides important background showing that Kari’s name has appeared in multiple missing-child alerts over time. The public record, as available through non-video online sources, therefore reflects a young person whose safety has been the subject of repeated concern, with separate listings tied to Prior Lake, Saint Paul, and Minneapolis.
As of the online sources reviewed here, the November 22, 2025 Minneapolis alert does not provide a public resolution status of Alive or Deceased, and no reliable non-video online source located in this search states that the November 2025 Minneapolis matter has been resolved. The known facts are painfully brief: Kari Ann Steele, 16, was listed as missing from Minneapolis, Minnesota, after last being seen on November 22, 2025; she is described as a female teenager with black hair and brown eyes; and the public was asked to contact NCMEC or Minneapolis police with any information. At its core, this case is the story of a missing 16-year-old girl from Minnesota whose loved ones and community deserve answers, and whose case depends on even the smallest credible detail from anyone who may know where she went, who she was with, or what happened after she was last seen in Minneapolis.Last Seen: Nov 22, 2025
