Destinee N. Britton, 14, was first reported missing from Bolingbrook, Illinois in the autumn of 2025. Early reports suggested she may have traveled to Lansing, Illinois; she was described at that time as having black and blonde hair extensions. Her family and investigators received no confirmed sightings or clear leads.

A few months later Destinee and 17-year-old Mia Pettis were reported missing from Yorkville, Illinois. The two were last seen late in the evening at the corner of Bridge and Park streets after leaving a group home with multiple duffel bags and walking east toward Route 47. Authorities issued an Endangered Missing Person Advisory for both girls, noting each had a condition that placed them in danger. Destinee was described as 5 feet 1 inch, about 150 pounds, with brown hair; she was last seen wearing a red coat with a fur-trimmed hood, black and white checkered pants, light-colored shoes, carrying a pink backpack and a dark duffel bag.

Investigators learned the girls had a history of running away and frequented the Chicago area, and reportedly posted on social media saying they were in Chicago. Yorkville police worked with Chicago police on several possible addresses, and by late December 2025 the FBI had been contacted to assist if new leads emerged.

If anyone saw Destinee or knows where she might be, please contact the investigating agencies with any information.
