Daja Aarionna Nai Lucas, 26, disappeared from St. Louis in the winter of 2024. On the morning of December 17 she dropped her two daughters at school, returned to her residence in the 3700 block of Texas and left on foot around 11 a.m. She was on the phone with her father and sounded distressed; during that call she said she was on Miami Street before the call abruptly ended.

Witnesses reported multiple sightings that day: around 11:30 a.m. she was seen running without shoes near a gas station at Arsenal and Lemp, later standing on a porch in the 2800 block of Lemp for about twenty minutes, and walking in and out of traffic on Gravois Road. When she left home she wore a black nightgown or t-shirt dress reading NEW YORK in white and blue-green socks. Distinctive tattoos include Timothy on her right bicep and Mike on her chest. The last confirmed sighting was the morning of December 31, 2024, walking along Gravois Road in Affton.

Family reports say Daja lives with mental health conditions, including postpartum depression, and they believe she was experiencing psychosis at the time; authorities warn she might not give her real name if approached. Searches along Gravois Road and multi-jurisdictional inquiries have yielded no new leads. Did anyone in the St. Louis area see Daja or the clothing described around those dates?
