Janet Burgess, 17, was last seen in Dayton, Ohio on August 30, 2025. The circumstances of her disappearance are sparsely documented: no widely circulated description of her clothing, last known destination, or the events immediately before she went missing has been released. That lack of basic details has hampered efforts to generate public leads and widened the circle of uncertainty for family and the community.

Initial hopes for a quick return gave way to deeper concern as days passed with no communication or confirmed sightings. The case is notable for the absence of publicly shared information that might focus searches or prompt eyewitness reports.

If anyone has information about Janet’s whereabouts on or after August 30, 2025, or remembers seeing her in Dayton that day, please come forward.
