In the community of Tacoma, Washington, a family is anxiously awaiting the return of 17-year-old Aniyah D. Ford, a young Black or African American female who was last seen on February 13, 2025. On that day, Aniyah reportedly ran away from her home and has not made any contact with her loved ones since. At the time of her disappearance, she was described as being approximately 5 feet 3 inches tall and weighing around 95 pounds, with both brown hair and brown eyes. The Pierce County Sheriff's Office is handling her case and she was officially entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) on July 30, 2025. The circumstances surrounding Aniyah's decision to leave her home remain private, with official records simply stating that she ran away. There is a concerning lack of publicly available information regarding her case, with no details released about the clothing she was wearing at the time she was last seen, or if she has any distinguishing marks. This absence of further details has created a challenging situation for both law enforcement and her family, leaving many questions unanswered and a community hoping for her safe return. The lack of media coverage or community alerts has also contributed to the quiet nature of her case. The investigation into Aniyah's whereabouts is ongoing, managed by the Pierce County Sheriff's Office under case number 25-044-01275. Despite the passage of time since she was last seen, there have been no significant public developments in her case. The limited information available highlights the difficulties faced in many missing persons cases, especially those involving minors who may have left voluntarily. The overview of this case is one of a sudden departure followed by a complete lack of contact, leaving a family in distress and a community with very little information to help bring her home.
