Jaylei Alberts, 16, was reported missing from Wichita on March 30, 2026. She is described as a Black female with brown hair and brown eyes. The Wichita Police Department is leading the investigation and has asked the public for tips about her whereabouts.

Reports say Jaylei might still be in the Wichita area or could have traveled to other Kansas cities. A court petition filed shortly after her disappearance sought to have her recognized as a child in need of care, a detail that suggests she may have been in a vulnerable situation before she went missing. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children has also been involved in publicity and outreach.

No significant leads have been reported, and the case remains active. If anyone has information about Jaylei’s movements around March 30, 2026, or has seen her since, please contact the Wichita Police Department.
