Sixteen-year-old Janiya Jones was reported missing from Newport News, Virginia, and was last seen on March 31, 2026. Authorities identified her as a missing juvenile and entered her case into national missing-children databases, but very few details about the circumstances of her disappearance have been released publicly.

Notices confirm only the date and location she was last seen; descriptions of clothing, destinations, or events leading up to her disappearance have not been provided. Investigators have kept her information on established missing-children resources to increase public awareness and encourage tips.

The limited public information leaves many questions about what happened before and after March 31. If anyone saw Janiya in Newport News around that date or has information that could help locate her, please contact local authorities.
