Jeremiah Demitrus Moneta, 22, was last seen on January 17, 2025, near North Pine Street and West Cleveland Avenue in Ponca City, Oklahoma. A recent transplant from Kansas City, Missouri, he had moved to Ponca City about eight months earlier to live with his mother, Jamie, after the death of an uncle. Jeremiah had started a job and was preparing to move into his own apartment; he was described as a hands-on big brother to six siblings. He was last seen wearing a grey Kansas City Chiefs hoodie and jeans.

The family reports troubling and unexplained details. On the evening he disappeared a woman called Jeremiah’s mother saying she had found his old cell phone and his asthma inhaler, though the family says he never went anywhere without the inhaler. Attempts to reach his new phone showed calls answered then disconnected and texts read but not replied to.

His family organized searches, distributed flyers and held a candlelight vigil while the Ponca City Police Department continued the investigation; the family also contacted other agencies. No resolution is reported. If anyone saw Jeremiah on January 17, 2025, or has information about his movements around North Pine, West Cleveland, or the 400 block of North Union Street, please come forward.
