In the city of Chicago, a 15-year-old girl named Jamyia Milligan vanished on September 30, 2026, sparking concern and a search for her whereabouts. Prior to this disappearance, Jamyia, a Black female with brown eyes and brown hair, had been reported missing on other occasions. Earlier descriptions of Jamyia from when she was younger noted she had black hair that was sometimes in braids.
The circumstances surrounding Jamyia's disappearance on that late September day are not publicly detailed. Authorities and her community were left with the painful uncertainty of where she might be and what might have happened. In previous instances when she had gone missing at the ages of 12 and 13, she was known to frequent several areas on Chicago's South Side, including the neighborhoods of Grand Crossing and Park Manor.
Specifically, she was known to visit the areas of 79th Street between Kimbark Avenue and Cottage Grove Avenue, as well as the vicinity of 71st and Indiana.
The Chicago Police Department, along with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, has been involved in the efforts to locate Jamyia. In past disappearances, law enforcement had circulated descriptions of her, noting her height and weight, and at one point mentioning she had scars on her arms. She has also been known to use the alias Jamiah Smith. The repeated instances of her going missing have created a history of concern for her safety and well-being. This most recent disappearance continues to be a source of worry as her case remains unresolved.Last Seen: Sep 30, 2026
