Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP124698)
Lailany Jackson, a 15-year-old female, was reported missing after she was last seen on December 20, 2023, in St. Albans, a residential neighborhood in Queens, New York. Publicly available missing-person information identified her as a juvenile from the St. Albans area, and the case was associated with the New York City Police Department’s Missing Persons Squad.
As with many missing-child cases, the initial concern centered on her age, her absence from known surroundings, and the need for anyone with reliable information to contact law enforcement so investigators could confirm her safety and whereabouts.
The public information available about Lailany’s disappearance was limited, and no detailed timeline has been publicly released describing the precise circumstances of when she was last seen, who last had contact with her, or where she may have gone after leaving the St. Albans area. Because of that, the known facts of the case remain narrow: she was a teenage girl, she was last seen in Queens, and her disappearance was significant enough to be entered into missing-person records and handled by authorities. In cases involving juveniles, law enforcement and clearinghouse listings often focus first on quickly circulating identifying information, confirming whether the child is safe, and collecting any tips from the public that could help locate them.
The investigating agency has reported that Lailany Jackson has been found alive, and her case is no longer considered an active missing-person case. The exact date and circumstances of her recovery have not been made publicly clear, so those details should not be stated as fact. What is known is that the case began with concern for a 15-year-old girl last seen in St. Albans, New York, on December 20, 2023, and ended with official reporting that she was located alive. Overall, Lailany’s case reflects the urgency that surrounds missing juvenile reports, the importance of public awareness when a child is unaccounted for, and the relief that comes when authorities are ultimately able to confirm that the missing child has been found alive.Last Seen: Dec 20, 2023
