Kayja Richardson was 17 when she vanished from Los Angeles on October 6, 2012. Living in a group home at the time, she told staff she was going to a local skate park and did not return. She is described as 5 feet 7 inches and 120 pounds; at the time she wore a white sweater, blue jeans, and a black baseball hat.

The circumstances of Kayja’s disappearance remain unclear and no significant leads have been reported. Authorities note her case is still open and have asked anyone with information to come forward. It was also noted in discussions about the case that her age raised the possibility of her subsequently aging out of the foster system.

If anyone knew Kayja, her routines, or saw her around October 6, 2012, please share what you remember with investigators.
