Kayla Rodgers was 16 years old when she was last reported seen in Jackson, Mississippi, on June 11, 2020. Public missing-person records identify her case as NamUs MP76256, with the last known location listed as Jackson in Hinds County. She is described in official records as a Black / African American female with black hair and brown eyes, standing approximately 5 feet 3 inches to 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing about 125 to 130 pounds. These details form the clearest public picture available of Kayla at the time she disappeared: a teenage girl from Jackson whose whereabouts became unknown in the early summer of 2020.
The public circumstances released about Kayla’s disappearance are limited.
NamUs states only that she had not been seen since June 11, 2020, and other public missing-person listings repeat the same core information without adding a detailed account of where she was going, who she may have been with, what she was wearing, or what events may have immediately preceded her disappearance. That absence of detail can be deeply painful in a missing child’s case, because it leaves family, loved ones, and the public with only fragments: a name, an age, a city, a date of last contact, and a plea for information.
Kayla’s case was reported to and investigated by the Jackson Police Department. The available case information lists the agency as the Jackson Police Department and identifies the law-enforcement case number as 2020-085524, with the agency located on East Pascagoula Street in Jackson. Publicly available records also list the date reported to law enforcement as June 16, 2020, which indicates that authorities were formally associated with the case shortly after Kayla was last seen. The publicly listed agency phone number is 601-960-1234 for anyone with information connected to the case.
As the years passed, Kayla’s name remained in public missing-person databases. SpotCrime’s missing-person listings for the Jackson area continue to show Kayla Rodgers as missing from Jackson, Mississippi, with an estimated current age of 21, matching the passage of time since she was 16 in 2020. Uncovered also lists Kayla’s case with the same date missing, age at incident, and NamUs number, while noting that the case needs attention and relying on NamUs as a featured source. These public entries do not add a fuller narrative of what happened to Kayla, but they help preserve her case in searchable records so that her name is not reduced to a forgotten line in a database.
Kayla Rodgers’ story, as it is publicly known, is the story of a 16-year-old girl from Jackson who was last seen on June 11, 2020, and whose case has been carried forward through NamUs and other missing-person listings with very few released details. She is remembered in those records by her name, her age, her city, and her description: a Black teenage girl with black hair and brown eyes, approximately 5 feet 3 inches to 5 feet 5 inches tall and 125 to 130 pounds. The overview of the case is that Kayla Rodgers, NamUs MP76256, was last known to be in Jackson, Mississippi; the Jackson Police Department is the investigating agency; the publicly released circumstances are sparse; and the central unanswered question remains what happened after she was last seen.Last Seen: Jun 11, 2020
