Danielle Alise Adams was 21 when she vanished from Detroit on or about May 20, 2016. She was last seen by a cousin on the city’s west side near Intervale and Freeland streets after telling her mother she was stepping out to get something to eat. Danielle stopped all phone and social media contact immediately after she was last seen, which her family says was highly uncharacteristic despite a prior history of running away.

Danielle is described as biracial (Black and White), 4 feet 10 inches to 4 feet 11 inches tall, 120–130 pounds, with long curly black hair, hazel eyes, multiple ear piercings, a nose piercing and a navel piercing. She has several tattoos, including Shelley on her right bicep, a yin-yang on her left arm, six stars on her right hand, Kissed by an Angel near her right shoulder, and Laugh Now, Cry Later on her upper back. The night she disappeared she was reportedly wearing a sweatshirt and dark jogging pants.

Investigators found a personal ad featuring Danielle on Backpage.com, prompting concern about possible involvement in commercial sex or trafficking, but that lead has not produced publicly reported results. The Detroit Police Department lists the investigation as open but cold; her boyfriend at the time was questioned and no suspects have been publicly named. If anyone knew Danielle’s movements around May 20, 2016, or saw her near Intervale and Freeland, please share information with the Detroit Police Department.
