Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP156555)
Four-year-old Stella Lemba was reported missing from Melbourne, Florida, after last being known to have contact on March 13, 2026. Online public records associated with NamUs listed her case as MP156555 and identified the missing person as Stella Lemba, missing from Melbourne, with the date of last contact recorded as March 13, 2026. The available public information was limited, but the basic details placed the case in Brevard County, where a very young child’s disappearance would have
immediately carried a heightened level of urgency because of her age and vulnerability.
Stella’s case was part of Florida’s broader missing-persons response system, which is supported by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s Missing Endangered Persons Information Clearinghouse. That clearinghouse serves as the state repository for missing endangered persons information and assists law enforcement agencies and the public in locating missing people. In cases involving children, the public-facing purpose of these systems is to quickly centralize identifying information, support investigative agencies, and make it easier for tips or confirmed sightings to reach the proper authorities.
Because Stella was only 4 years old, the concern surrounding her disappearance would have been especially serious. Children that young are wholly dependent on adults for safety, transportation, shelter, food, and medical care, and even brief uncertainty about their location can place enormous emotional strain on relatives, caregivers, investigators, and the surrounding community. Publicly available online information did not provide detailed circumstances explaining exactly how Stella became missing, who she may have been with, or what investigative steps led to the resolution of the case.
Official reports indicate that Stella Lemba was found alive. The exact date and circumstances of her recovery were not clearly available in the public online information reviewed, so no specific recovery date can be given. What is known is that Stella’s case began as the reported disappearance of a 4-year-old girl from Melbourne, Florida, last seen on March 13, 2026, and later ended with the most important outcome possible: she was located alive and was no longer considered an active missing child case.Last Seen: Mar 13, 2026
