Kora Lacross, 15, was reported missing from Spanaway, Washington, with the last-seen date listed as January 19, 2026. Public missing-child notices describe her as having brown hair and brown eyes, note she may have changed her hairstyle, and list distinguishing tattoos on her middle finger and wrist. Notices also said she may have travelled out of state and directed tips to the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children tip line.

Kora’s name appeared in earlier reporting after a February 2025 incident in Spokane Valley, where she was reported missing as a runaway and at-risk juvenile; that matter involved Spokane Valley Police and Spokane County Sheriff’s deputies and mentioned a social worker’s concern. Reports linked her previously to areas near East Wellesley Avenue and North Evergreen Road in Spokane Valley and to the Centralia area in Lewis County.

What happened after January 19 is not detailed in the public notices. If anyone saw Kora in or after Spanaway, or remembers her tattoos, hairstyle, or travel that might match the description, please contact the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office at 1-253-287-4455 or the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST.
