Jaiden Alani Cannon, 16, was last seen at her home in Hampton, Virginia on April 26, 2026. On that day she was wearing a gray sweatsuit with black writing, carrying a black drawstring backpack, and had distinctive red braids. Her family reported her missing and authorities have classified the case as Endangered Missing.

Investigators say Jaiden may have intended to travel within Virginia and that Washington D.C. was also a possible destination. The Hampton Police Department is working the case with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, and both agencies are urging anyone with information to come forward.

Few concrete leads have been released and many questions remain about what happened after she was last seen. If anyone has seen Jaiden or her backpack, or has information about travel she may have taken after April 26, please contact the Hampton Police Department.
