Saniyya Dennis was a 19-year-old SUNY Buffalo State College student from the Bronx who was last seen on the evening of April 24, 2021, leaving her dormitory around 11 p.m. Surveillance footage and bus records show she traveled alone by two buses to the Niagara Falls State Park area; park cameras recorded her on a trail on Goat Island at 12:17 a.m., the last known video sighting. Her cell phone pinged on Goat Island in the early morning hours of April 25, she had a 45-minute phone call with a male friend about 12:19 a.m., and she sent a text shortly after 1:20 a.m.

A few minutes later her phone disconnected from the cellular network. Investigators say she discarded personal items after leaving the dorm, and an extensive multi-agency search around Niagara Falls did not recover a body. The Erie County District Attorney announced that, after review, officials believe she took her own life, while the family disputes that finding and has raised questions suggesting possible foul play.

Does anyone have information about Saniyya’s movements that night or saw her near Goat Island?
