Kaliq Topps was last seen in Memphis, Tennessee, on December 20, 2023, at age 16. He is Black, 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 5 inches tall, slender, about 120 to 130 pounds, with brown eyes and a high-top fade. He has tattoos on both forearms that together spell MEMPHIS.

Details about Kaliq’s disappearance are scarce. The Memphis Police Department is handling the case, and family, friends and online communities have been sharing information while searching for answers. Some online commenters have speculated about a possible link to unidentified skeletal remains found near Cypress Creek; that theory has not been confirmed by law enforcement and remains speculative.

If anyone knew Kaliq, saw him around December 20, 2023, or has information that could help investigators, please come forward and share what can help locate him.
