Serenity Howze, 15, was last seen by a family member in Fayetteville, North Carolina, at about 9:30 p.m. on September 30, 2025. She was wearing a black t-shirt and black sweatpants. Serenity is five feet six inches tall, about 120 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

Home security system alerts showed movement near the residence at about midnight and again at 6:00 a.m., but the recorded footage did not capture Serenity or any vehicle. In the days after she disappeared the only contact from her was by text message; those texts did not say where she was or who she was with. The Fayetteville Police Department opened an investigation under case number 2025-021601, and the case was entered into NamUs as MP156059.

The combination of the unexplained departure, limited digital traces, and Serenity’s refusal to disclose her location has left family and investigators with few concrete leads. If anyone saw Serenity on September 30, 2025, in Fayetteville or knows where she might be, please come forward with information.
