Seventeen-year-old Jalaya Crawford-Cobbs was last seen in Virginia Beach on March 17, 2024, with box braids and in the company of her sisters. One sister, Janashia Crawford-Cobbs, is also reported missing and is described as a juvenile who requires medication, a detail that increases concern for their welfare.

Reports indicate the sisters may have been traveling together and that family and investigators have considered New York — specifically Harlem or the Bronx — as possible destinations. The Virginia Beach Police Department is handling the investigation and is the contact for any leads.

There is limited public detail about how the sisters were last observed or what prompted their travel, leaving key questions about their route and companions unanswered. If anyone has seen Jalaya or her sisters or knows where they might be now, please contact the Virginia Beach Police Department with information.
