Seventeen-year-old Janaya Iyayi was last seen on May 1, 2026, in Brockton, Massachusetts. Her disappearance prompted online alerts for missing and endangered children and a concentrated search by local authorities. Details about what she was wearing or who she might have been with at the time have not been widely publicized.

Earlier reports say Janaya, then 16, had also been reported missing from Fall River on March 13, 2026, the same night another teen from that city was reported missing. Whether the two March disappearances are connected has not been clarified. The active investigation has since shifted to Brockton, and the Brockton Police Department is the primary point of contact for any information.

Anyone who saw Janaya or has information about her whereabouts is urged to contact the Brockton Police Department.
