Yeni Lucas Perez, 16, was last seen in Smyrna, Tennessee on January 24, 2023. She is Hispanic, has black hair and brown eyes, and was reported between 5 feet 6 inches and 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing about 130 pounds. The Smyrna Police Department opened an investigation under case number 23000623.

Very little is known about Yeni’s last movements. Official reports list her means and direction of travel as unknown, and it is not clear whether she left voluntarily, was taken, or if she traveled by vehicle or on foot. Those gaps have made the investigation difficult for authorities and agonizing for her family.

If anyone saw Yeni around Smyrna on or after January 24, 2023, or has information about her whereabouts, please contact the Smyrna Police Department.
