Seventeen-year-old Sylvanna Jacobs vanished from the Charleston area after being last seen on January 27, 2026, at a relative’s house in the 5000 block of Manor Road in Hollywood, Charleston County. She is 5 feet 4 inches, about 150 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Law enforcement classified the case as a runaway juvenile situation and the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office issued a public appeal for help locating her.

Investigators believed Sylvanna may have been staying with friends in James Island or North Charleston but her exact whereabouts were unconfirmed. Search efforts were hampered because she did not have a known cell phone number. Detectives from the Sheriff’s Office were assigned to the case and contact information was circulated; the Town of Hollywood also listed her as missing.

If anyone saw Sylvanna after January 27 or knows where she might have gone, please contact the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office with any information.
