Summary based on the NamUs case record (NC999660093)
Makaya Inez Dubose was a one-year-old Black female reported missing from Richmond City, Virginia, with February 1, 2022, recorded as her last-seen date. Public missing-person records maintained through the Virginia Missing Children’s Clearinghouse identify her by the full name Makaya Inez Dubose and associate her case with the Richmond City location. The same records assign the case number USVAVA24-4256 and list February 1, 2022, as the date of disappearance.
Available online records provide only limited circumstances surrounding the disappearance, leaving much of the beginning of the case undocumented in publicly accessible sources.
The available record places Makaya among cases registered with the Virginia Missing Children’s Clearinghouse, a statewide system that documents missing children and makes identifying information available for public awareness. In the published listing, her entry appears alongside other Virginia missing-child cases and is specifically associated with Richmond City. The record confirms her race as Black and gives the disappearance date, but it does not provide a detailed narrative explaining where within Richmond City she was last seen, the circumstances immediately preceding her disappearance, who reported her missing, or what actions were taken during the initial search. Because those details are not established by the accessible sources reviewed, the circumstances surrounding Makaya’s disappearance remain unclear rather than being filled in with speculation.
The passage of time makes the limited public information especially significant. Makaya was only one year old when she disappeared, meaning that her absence represented the loss of a very young child whose safety depended entirely on the adults responsible for her care. The public record does not provide a confirmed account of her movements after she was last seen, nor does it identify a publicly documented sequence of events that explains what happened to her. The available listing also does not supply a detailed physical description beyond the identifying information contained in the missing-child record, and it does not establish a known destination or confirmed whereabouts following the February 1, 2022 disappearance. Consequently, the case must be understood through the verified information that remains publicly available: a very young Black girl named Makaya Inez Dubose disappeared from Richmond City, Virginia, on February 1, 2022, and her case was entered into the Virginia Missing Children’s Clearinghouse system.
Makaya’s case remains a poignant example of how a missing-child investigation can leave families and communities facing profound uncertainty when the publicly available record contains few details about the circumstances of a disappearance. The Virginia record establishes the essential facts of her identity and disappearance but does not provide enough verified information to reconstruct a fuller timeline, identify a last-known location within Richmond City, or explain what may have occurred after she was last seen. With no additional reliable online account located that supplies those missing details, the story of Makaya Inez Dubose is ultimately one of a one-year-old child who disappeared in Richmond City on February 1, 2022, leaving behind an unresolved public record and an enduring need for accurate information concerning her whereabouts and what happened after she was last seen.Last Seen: Feb 1, 2022
