Desirea Ferris, 18, was last seen by family on May 1, 2017, in Liberty, Missouri, after spending the day with a male acquaintance and her sister. That afternoon they were dropped at a McDonald’s in Kansas City and later returned to Liberty; Desirea’s sister was taken home but Desirea stayed with the men and never arrived at the friend’s house where she was supposed to be dropped off. The family’s last direct contacts with her were texts: she promised to be home for her mother’s birthday and messaged her sister around 1:00 a.m. on May 2, saying she was on her way.

Phone activity continued into the early morning on May 2. A call was logged at 2:06 a.m., Facebook activity at 3:00 a.m., and a final text to the same number at 5:14 a.m. Cell tower pings placed her phone near I-70 and Nolan Road in Independence at 3:14 a.m., and the last ping at 4:11 a.m. near an abandoned house; after that all phone activity stopped and calls went to voicemail.

The case is being treated as an endangered missing person investigation and remains unsolved. Does anyone in Liberty, Kansas City, or Independence who was in those neighborhoods on May 1–2, 2017, remember seeing Desirea or the men she was with?
