Seventeen-year-old Zion Rachelle Foster vanished from Eastpointe, Michigan, after being picked up from her home by her cousin Jaylin Brazier on January 4, 2022. Her mother, Ciera Milton, reported her missing when Zion — who normally shared her location and checked in regularly — failed to return and could not be reached.

Initial statements from Brazier contradicted what his mother knew: he first denied recent contact with Zion, then, under questioning, admitted they had been together the night she disappeared. He told investigators they had been smoking marijuana when Zion suddenly stopped breathing; he said he panicked and placed her body in a dumpster. That confession prompted an extensive search at the Pine Tree Acres landfill in Macomb County, where investigators spent months sifting thousands of tons of trash but did not recover her remains.

Zion’s body has never been found. If anyone knew Zion, saw her after January 4, 2022, or has information about where she might have been taken, please come forward.
