From Destiny's sister:

⚠️MISSING PERSON⚠️
Last we knew she was homeless and in the Lancaster Ave area of Fort Worth. My mother, myself nor her children have had contact with her since March of 2025. We are very concerned for her safety & well being it's not like her to not contact her children at least. Please share to get the word out.

EDITED TO ADD: She was reported missing a year ago as well but it seems we were the only ones concerned and it’s very hard to get anything done being so far away. Also it is not out of character for Destiny to go long periods of time without contact. When her friends and family in Texas started messaging us asking about her and her whereabouts or how she was, we quickly realized something was off and it was time to get more awareness.
