Seventeen-year-old Neriah Clingerman was reported missing from Tampa, Florida, after last being seen on February 25, 2026. She is described as female with brown hair and brown eyes. Authorities say she left her home and has not been seen since; no intended destination or state of mind at the time were reported.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office is leading the investigation. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children indicates Neriah might still be in the Tampa area or may have traveled to nearby Plant City, widening the search area and prompting additional appeals to the public.

Her family, investigators and volunteers continue to search and are asking anyone with information or who may have seen Neriah in Tampa or Plant City to come forward. Did anyone in the Tampa or Plant City area see Neriah around late February 2026?
