Jaycee Kershner was 14 when she disappeared from Chester, Pennsylvania. She was last seen on August 7, 2024, after leaving a residence in the city and not returning. In the months before her disappearance Jaycee’s life was unstable: her mother was incarcerated, her father was in rehab, and she was in the legal care of Pennsylvania’s Children and Youth Services. Reports say she was not consistently assigned to a single caseworker, was not attending school, and moved between acquaintances and unstable living situations.

The initial response treated her as a runaway, which limited the investigation’s urgency. There is no video of her leaving, no confirmed witnesses to that departure, and no clear timeline for the day she vanished. More than a year later there have been no confirmed sightings or verified contact from Jaycee. A person identified as Dylan Way has publicly claimed to be her brother and said he has communicated with her, but no proof has been provided and neither law enforcement nor CYS has made contact.

Jaycee remains classified as a missing and endangered child. Anyone with information about her whereabouts is asked to contact the Chester Police Department or CYS. Did anyone in the Chester area see Jaycee around August 7, 2024, or know where she might have gone?
