In the small community of Elizabeth, Pennsylvania, concern mounted for 13-year-old Genevieve Welan, who was discovered missing from her home around midnight on Saturday, November 7, 2026. Genevieve, also known as "Gigi," was described as an Asian female, standing 5 feet tall and weighing approximately 140 pounds. She has long, dark brown hair and wears black-framed glasses. When she was last seen, she may have been wearing a Pittsburgh Steelers hooded sweatshirt and carrying a backpack. The Elizabeth Township Police Department initiated an investigation and believed she was not alone.
Authorities suspected that Genevieve had run away with another missing teen, 14-year-old Isaac Fayson. Isaac, a Black male, is described as being 5 feet, 11 inches tall with shoulder-length dark curly hair and a light mustache. He was last seen at his home in Elizabeth Township at about 11:30 p.m. on Friday, November 6, wearing black sweatpants and an unknown shirt and coat.
He may have been carrying two backpacks, one with "Tennessee" printed on it and another that is camouflage. Police entered both teenagers into the National Crime Information Center database, and alerts were sent to surrounding law enforcement agencies.
As the days turned colder, the community's anxiety grew. Police expressed serious concern for the well-being of the two teens, fearing they might be staying outdoors in the dropping temperatures, with rain and possible snow in the forecast. Law enforcement utilized regional drone technology to search densely wooded areas, and public appeals were made for any information regarding their whereabouts. Authorities urged anyone who might be helping the teens to come forward, emphasizing that every passing hour added to the risk. In a direct message to Genevieve and Isaac, police assured them they were not in trouble and that their families loved them and wanted them home. As of the latest available reports, the search for Genevieve and Isaac continues. The case remains a painful and unresolved story for the families and the community, a narrative of two young people who vanished into the night, leaving behind a host of unanswered questions and a community holding onto hope for their safe return.Last Seen: Nov 7, 2026
