Jadekiss McNeal was 13 when she was last seen in Pensacola, Florida, on March 15, 2016. On the night she disappeared she reportedly walked outside her grandmother’s house to sit on the porch and never returned inside. A later sighting placed her standing by a road about a quarter mile from home with an unknown man.

There are discrepancies in the timeline: the family says they reported her missing on December 21, 2015, but law enforcement did not open a missing person case until March 2016. Ten days after she went missing, a bag containing some of Jadekiss’s clothes and several cell phones appeared on the family’s porch; the family says the clothes matched what she was wearing that night. That bag was not turned over to police until 2018, which complicated the investigation.

The case has been treated as a potential runaway at times, and family members have suggested she might have traveled to places such as Louisiana or Nevada. The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate. If anyone knew Jadekiss, saw her in March 2016, or has information about the bag that appeared on the family’s porch, please come forward.
