Madison Bearden was identified in public missing-child listings as a 17-year-old female reported missing from Reno, Nevada, with the missing date recorded as October 7, 2025. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children’s online poster entry lists her as missing from Reno on that date, and other public missing-child notices repeat the same core information: her first name Madison, last name Bearden, female, 17 years old, missing from Reno, Nevada, in the United States.
The available online notices do not describe the exact place in Reno where she was last seen, what she may have been wearing, who last saw her, or the circumstances that led to the report, leaving the public record limited and careful in what it can say.
The descriptive information circulated for Madison says she is White, with brown hair and brown eyes. A public alert also states that Madison may still be in the local area, a detail that matters because it keeps attention focused not only on distant possibilities but also on familiar streets, neighborhoods, transit areas, shelters, schools, social circles, and places in or near Reno where someone might have seen her after October 7, 2025. The language of the alert asks people to treat even small details as potentially important, because a sighting, a remembered conversation, a location, or a timeline detail that seems minor to one person may help investigators or family members better understand where Madison went and how to bring clarity to her case.
The case was publicized through missing-child resources that directed anyone with information to contact either the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST, also listed as 1-800-843-5678, or the Reno Police Department at 1-775-334-2121. The Reno Police Department’s missing-persons page explains that its Missing Persons Unit assists with coordinating, investigating, and responding to cases involving missing persons, runaway children, and unidentified living or deceased individuals, which provides context for how a local missing-child report in Reno would be handled by authorities.
As of the available online information found in public sources, Madison Bearden’s case is presented as the disappearance of a 17-year-old girl from Reno, Nevada, missing since October 7, 2025. The public record gives a basic description of Madison, confirms the city and date connected to her disappearance, states that she may still be in the local area, and asks the public to share any information with NCMEC or Reno police. Many personal and investigative details remain unavailable in the public notices, so the case is best understood as one in which the known facts are few but important: Madison is a teenage girl whose absence was serious enough to be listed in missing-child alerts, and the central need remains information that could help explain what happened after she was last seen and assist in bringing resolution to her case.Last Seen: Oct 7, 2025
