Addison Windbigler, a 16-year-old girl, was last seen in Quincy, Illinois, on September 9, 2023. At the time she went missing, authorities believed she may have left of her own accord and thought she could have traveled toward the Jacksonville, Illinois, area. Her family and law enforcement opened an investigation, but public details about the circumstances of her leaving have been limited.

This was not Addison’s first disappearance. In late 2021, when she was 14, she traveled with a family member to Keokuk, Iowa, and was last seen there on December 14, 2021. That episode prompted a multi-state search and she was located uninjured in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in February 2022. Addison is described as a White female with brown hair and brown eyes and a nose piercing.

Her recurring departures raise questions about what support and interventions might help keep her safe. If anyone has information about Addison’s whereabouts in or after September 2023, please share what is known.
