Jaycee Hunt was 15 years old when she was reported missing from Olympia, Washington, with public missing-child notices listing her as female and giving February 18, 2026, as the date she was last seen. The public notice carried through TDN and republished by WorldNews identified her as “Age Now: 15,” “Missing: 02/18/2026,” and “Missing From Olympia, WA,” placing the beginning of the case in Washington’s capital city and directing anyone with information to the Olympia Police
Department at 1-360-704-2740.
The known public record is brief, and that sparseness is part of the story. Online sources available for review do not provide a detailed account of what Jaycee was doing before she disappeared, what she may have been wearing, who last saw her, or whether investigators identified a particular direction of travel. Because she was a child, the public appeal appears to have centered on quickly distributing her name, age, last-seen date, last-seen city, and the law-enforcement contact responsible for receiving information. In cases like Jaycee’s, even a short notice can carry urgent weight: it gives the public the essential facts needed to recognize the child’s name and location and to route possible sightings or tips to the correct agency.
In Washington, missing-person information is part of a broader statewide system. The Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs explains that state law tasked it with maintaining a public missing-persons website, with data provided daily by the Washington State Patrol. The same public guidance says missing-person reports should go first to the local law-enforcement agency where the person was last seen, while the Washington State Patrol’s Missing and Unidentified Persons Unit can provide additional assistance once the primary law-enforcement report exists. The Washington State Patrol separately notes that all missing persons must be reported to the primary law-enforcement agency where the person was last seen before its Missing and Unidentified Persons Unit can begin assistance, and it lists 1-800-543-5678 as a contact number for missing-person assistance.
Because Jaycee was 15, her case also fits within the kind of missing-child public-alert environment supported nationally by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, which operates a 24-hour hotline at 1-800-843-5678 and provides search resources for missing children. The public notice for Jaycee, however, specifically directed information to the Olympia Police Department, making local investigators the central point of contact for tips related to her disappearance.
The case of Jaycee Hunt, as reflected in available online reporting, begins with a young Black female teenager last seen in Olympia, Washington, on February 18, 2026, and continues through a public call for help that asked anyone with information to contact Olympia police. The available sources do not describe the circumstances leading up to her disappearance in detail, but they do preserve the most important public facts: her name, her age, her gender, the city and state where she was last seen, the date she was reported missing, and the agency seeking information. In overview, Jaycee’s case is the story of a 15-year-old girl whose disappearance from Olympia prompted a public missing-child notice and a request that anyone who knew where she was, saw something relevant, or later learned information about her whereabouts bring that information directly to law enforcement.Last Seen: Feb 18, 2026
