Del Zay Quintel Anderson was reported missing as a 16-year-old female from Missouri, with public missing-child listings describing her as a Black girl with black hair and brown eyes. The central public alert places her last-seen date as May 5, 2025, and her last-known location as St. Louis, Missouri, a city where the details released about her disappearance remain limited and careful attention to verified information matters.
The available public record does not describe the circumstances of where she was going, who she may have been with, what she may have been wearing, or what may have happened in the hours before she was last seen. What is known is stark and painful: a teenage girl was reported missing, and the public was asked to help bring attention to her case.
The public-facing information identifies her full name as Del Zay Quintel Anderson and gives basic identifying details rather than a detailed account of events. One alert lists her first name as Del Zay, her last name as Anderson, and her middle name as Quintel; it also lists her sex as female, race or skin color as Black, hair color as black, and eye color as brown. That same alert states that she had been missing since May 5, 2025, from St. Louis, Missouri, and asks anyone with information to contact the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children or the St. Louis Police Department.
There is some inconsistency in the public record. A National Center for Missing & Exploited Children poster indexed online lists Del Zay Quintel Anderson as missing from Florissant, Missouri, with a missing date of April 17, 2025, and states that she was last seen that day. Another missing-child listing, however, gives May 5, 2025, as the missing date and St. Louis, Missouri, as the missing location. Because the publicly available information is sparse and conflicting, the safest reading is that Del Zay’s case has appeared in public alerts connected to the St. Louis metropolitan area, with May 5, 2025, in St. Louis, Missouri, serving as the principal last-seen information in the St. Louis listing while another public source references Florissant and an earlier date.
The case has been presented publicly as a missing-child matter, not as a fully explained disappearance. The official-style alert language emphasizes that even information that may seem insignificant could matter, a common reality in missing juvenile cases where a small sighting, social media contact, transportation detail, or remembered conversation can help clarify a timeline. The public alert directs tips to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-843-5678 and to the St. Louis Police Department at 1-314-231-1212, reflecting that the focus of the available notices was on locating Del Zay and gathering information from anyone who may have seen her or known something about her whereabouts.
Missouri’s statewide missing-person search page explains that its missing-person information is derived from the National Crime Information Center through the investigating agency and is updated automatically, and it advises the public to contact the investigating agency for further details. That context matters because public databases can change as agencies update, correct, remove, or resolve entries, while older alerts may remain visible on other websites. In Del Zay’s case, the publicly accessible information does not provide a clear narrative of the moment she disappeared, but it does preserve the essential facts that made the case urgent: Del Zay Anderson, a 16-year-old female, was listed as missing from the St. Louis area in 2025, with key public alerts pointing to May 5, 2025, from St. Louis, Missouri, and asking the public for help. Overall, this is the story of a young person whose disappearance entered public missing-child alerts with only a few confirmed details, leaving the case defined by limited information, conflicting public dates, and a continuing need for reliable tips from anyone who may know what happened or where Del Zay was after she was last seen.Last Seen: May 5, 2025
