Mayeen La’Alah Fluker was last seen on January 8, 2025, in Canton with her parents. After that date the family undertook repeated cross-country trips, moving between rental cars and covering a large portion of the United States, a pattern that complicated efforts to verify the infant’s welfare.

Police traced the family’s travels and made contact with the parents during a traffic stop in Kansas, where officers discovered Mayeen was not with them. The parents were arrested on child endangerment charges after they could not provide a satisfactory explanation for the baby’s whereabouts. The U.S. Marshals Service has classified Mayeen as a child in crisis and the Columbus Division of Police is leading the ongoing investigation.

If anyone has seen Mayeen or has information about the family’s movements after January 8, 2025, please contact investigators.
