Summary based on 3 sources
Seventeen-year-old Briana Elizabeth Najera, identified in public missing-child information as female, was reported missing from Maple Grove, Minnesota, with a listed missing date of December 12, 2025. The available National Center for Missing & Exploited Children information described her as a missing minor, gave her current age as 17, and stated that she was last seen on December 12, 2025. The public record connected the case to Maple Grove and listed the Coon Rapids Police Department in Minnesota as the law enforcement agency to contact, along with a National Center for Missing & Exploited Children case number, 2077204, and an NCIC number, M258712258.

The known public details are sparse, which leaves the story of Briana’s disappearance marked more by absence than by explanation. Online missing-child information does not provide a detailed account of what she was doing before she was last seen, who she may have been with, what she may have been wearing, or whether she had known travel plans. What is publicly available is the essential framework of a missing-child case: a teenage girl, age 17, last seen in Maple Grove, Minnesota, on December 12, 2025, and entered into systems meant to help law enforcement, families, and the public share information quickly when a child cannot be located.

In Minnesota, the state’s Missing and Unidentified Persons Clearinghouse is one of the tools available to law enforcement agencies working to locate missing children and adults. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety explains that a missing person must first be reported to local law enforcement and entered into the FBI’s National Crime Information Center missing person file before being included in that clearinghouse process. That context matters in Briana’s case because the public NCMEC information lists an NCIC number, showing that her disappearance was tied to the national missing-person reporting system used to alert and coordinate law enforcement.

The listing directed anyone with information to call 911 or contact the Coon Rapids Police Department, whose public department page describes it as a 24-hour service agency handling more than 50,000 calls each year. For a missing teenager’s family, that kind of public notice can become both a lifeline and a painful reminder: every shared poster, every phone number, and every case number represents the hope that someone may have seen something, remembered something, or know where Briana is. The official public information does not describe the circumstances of her disappearance in detail, so it is important not to speculate beyond what has been released.

Briana Najera’s case, as reflected in the available online sources, centers on a limited but serious set of facts: Briana Elizabeth Najera was listed as a 17-year-old female missing from Maple Grove, Minnesota, with a missing date and last-seen date of December 12, 2025; her case was associated with NCMEC case number 2077204, NCIC number M258712258, and the Coon Rapids Police Department; and the public-facing appeal asked anyone with information to contact authorities. With no detailed public timeline released, the overview of the case remains painfully simple: a 17-year-old girl was last seen in Maple Grove, her disappearance was entered into national missing-child systems, and the publicly available record called on anyone with knowledge of Briana’s whereabouts to come forward.
