Sending prayers and love to the mother of Jax Gratton as well as everyone who loves Jax. This is not the outcome any of us wanted. Please keep her family and loved ones in prayer. Also, please give her Mother and her family the time they need to grieve this tremendous loss and give them their privacy at this time. 🙏 I have removed Jax’s missing post from the page to avoid any confusion.

To the thousands who rallied behind Jax and stepped up to help find her and to support her Mom - you are all amazing! I have never seen so many people from so many different communities and backgrounds come together to find a missing person like I did for Jax. Please continue to give that energy and your support to all of the missing that you can, there are so many still out there. RIP sweet Jax. 🙏💔

Colorado Springs, CO

PLEASE SHARE THIS OUT 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Its been over two full years since Christy first went missing. It has been two very long and very difficult years for her loved ones and there are still no concrete answers. Please share this wherever you can and as often as you can so that we can keep her face out there 🙏 Someone out there knows something.

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO/EL PASO COUNTY

MISSING/ENDANGERED

CHRISTIANA LYNN CHILDERS
Missing since 1-31-23
27 years old (24 at time of disappearance)
Christiana is 5’4”, 120 pounds with
auburn/reddish-brown hair and green eyes.
She has no scars, marks or tattoos but she does have pierced ears.

Christiana often goes by Christy and disappeared near her parents home in Colorado Springs on 1-31-23 at approximately 10:30 am. It was a below-freezing day and Christy had just had a minor dispute with family. She had left her parents home (she was in the process of moving back there) at around 10:30 am that morning to just take a walk. Christy was very likely in a vulnerable state that morning and was possibly suffering a mental health crisis. She has not been seen or heard from since she left for her walk. Her phone was also turned off about one hour after she left and has not been turned back on since.
There has been zero contact with Christy since 10:30 am on 1-31-23 and her email, social media and bank accounts have all remained untouched. Family, friends and Christy’s fiancée are all extremely worried as it is not in her character to disappear without contact. Christy did not have any personal belongings that would indicate she was planning to leave for any extended period of time with her when she left the house other than her phone and her purse which she always had with her. Christy is said to be a very trusting individual and it is feared that someone may have preyed upon her while she was in a vulnerable state.
Christy was attending UCCS, where she was studying to get her PhD in Physics when she disappeared and was also engaged to be married. Christy is described as a very intelligent, creative individual who enjoys reading, playing DND with friends and spending time with her fiancée. She is also extremely interested in maintaining a fit lifestyle.
Christy is known to often wear dark colored leggings with Birkenstock sandals, and stud earrings. She also is known to wear minimal makeup, consisting of mainly mascara. She is known to be very quiet and polite as well as very trusting and shy. However, very well-spoken. Christy does suffer from anxiety at times as well as mental health issues but it is not believed that Christy is choosing to remain missing all this time without contacting anyone. She is an animal lover who is known to have cared for her various pets. In fact, at the time of her disappearance, Christy left her cats behind, which is another reason it is feared she did not choose to remain missing. She was also engaged at the time of her disappearance and she missed her Mother’s Birthday which also has many people concerned.

If you have seen or heard from Christy or have ANY information that could lead to her whereabouts, please contact the Colorado Springs Police Department at (719) 444-7000. As always, if you do not wish to call police you may call the Missing Women of America tipline at (630) 509-4898 and leave an anonymous message 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Please share this post everywhere you can and help bring Christy home to the family, friends and fiancée who love and miss her very much. 🙏

It has now been longer than 2 full years that Lauren Willhoit disappeared without a trace. Please share this post anywhere and everywhere you are able so that we can continue to keep Lauren’s face and her story out there. Someone out there knows something. We need to bring Lauren home to her loving family. Please help by sharing this post!!! It costs nothing and only takes seconds to do, and could make ALL of the difference 🙏 Lauren could be anywhere by now. Please continue to help in our efforts to bring Lauren home safely in any way you are able - Sharing, praying or calling in a tip. Please call the Cook County Sheriff’s Office with any tips you may have that could help to find Lauren. Or, if you prefer to not call police you can call Missing Women of America at (630) 509-4898 24 hours a day and leave a message. Again, anyone calling in with information will be kept anonymous. If you think you see Lauren, please try to take a photo if you feel safe doing so.

Born in April of 1992, Lauren is described as a white female who is about 5’6” tall and weighs approximately 100-130 pounds. She has long brown hair and green eyes. Lauren also has a tattoo of a heart outline under her left eye. And she also has a broken or missing front tooth as well.

Lauren was originally thought to be last seen leaving her home in Melrose Park, Illinois on the morning of December 31st, 2022. However, a little after that alleged information was given to police, Lauren was positively identified and confirmed by police to have been at a location in Franklin Park (on the 3000 block of N Mannheim) - making this her actual last known sighting and location prior to her disappearance, between 12/29/2022 and 12/31/2022. The first picture of Lauren below (in the green and black jacket with the hat and braids) was taken at that location, immediately prior to her disappearance and nobody has heard from her since. I have included additional photos of Lauren below.
It is extremely unlike Lauren not to be on social media and to not make contact with anyone. Lauren is very likely in danger. If you think you have seen Lauren in the Chicagoland area or anywhere else please message or call us.
Lauren’s family is extremely worried and she is so very loved. She also has a young nephew who she’s crazy about and Vice-versa. If you know where Lauren could be or even if you’ve heard a rumor please reach out to the Cook County Sheriffs Office. If you do not want to contact police you can message or call this page and always remain anonymous.

I’m asking anyone who knows where Lauren may be to please reach out. You will not be judged or interrogated, we simply just need help finding her. It doesn’t matter who you are to Lauren or why you may have seen her, please just reach out and know that I have been able to locate numerous people for their families because of tips sent in and in all of these years, everyone who has called requesting anonymity has been kept anonymous.

If you are out and believe you have spotted Lauren, please do not approach her and immediately just call 911 saying you have just seen a missing and endangered person named Lauren Willhoit and simply report her current location to the police. If you happen to be out and you think you have spotted Lauren, please try to take a photo of her (without her knowledge) and anyone who may be with her - but only if you feel safe doing so.
Again - if you see Lauren please call 911 or the Cook County Sheriffs Office immediately or you can remain anonymous simply by messaging or calling this page at (630) 509-4898.

Please consider sharing out this post as it costs nothing to share and as you’ve seen many times over on this page - one share could make all the difference. Please keep Lauren and her lovely family in prayer and let’s all work together to bring this sweet girl home safe to the family who loves her 🙏

Enough Is Enough: A Call to Prayer and Action
PLEASE WATCH THE POWERFUL VIDEO POSTED BELOW!

CHICAGO — In the early hours of Saturday morning, tragedy struck the heart of our community. Just before 2:00 a.m., multiple individuals were shot near the corner of 78th and Throop — directly across from the St. Sabina School and steps away from the sanctuary of our beloved church.

Chicago Police were in the process of dispersing a large gathering when an unknown vehicle drove by and opened fire into the crowd. The suspect vehicle fled the scene, and no description has yet been provided.

This violence comes just weeks after our faith community joyfully celebrated the 50th anniversary of ministry for Father Michael Pfleger — a shepherd who has never turned away from the fight for justice. Narrated by the voice of Joseph Saunders, our story is one of resilience, resistance, and relentless advocacy, grounded in the gospel message of Matthew 28: “Go and make disciples of all nations…” — a message not of silence, but of action.

We grieve. But we are not defeated.

The Faith Community of Saint Sabina is more than a location — it is a sacred ground of hope, healing, and holy protest. We will continue to stand, to speak, and to serve.

We will celebrate our young people and walk with them through every passage of life. Yet, we are sobered by the reality that there are forces — violent, destructive, and demonic — working to interrupt their promise.

Let us say with one voice: Enough is enough.

We ask for your continued prayers — for our church, our streets, and our city. We lift up Joseph, Father Mike, and every soul within our faith community who carries this pain and presses on with purpose. We pray against the spirit of violence that attempts to steal life, joy, and peace — not only in Chicago, but in every city across the world.

We will not be moved.

Please keep the families of the victims and the victims in your prayers!

A $10,000 reward is being offered to anyone with information leading to the arrest of the heartless individuals who did this. If you have any information, please call Chicago Police at 312-745-3610. If you dont want to call police, you can call St. Sabinas Church at 773-483-4800. Please share this post for awareness. Please see the comments for words from Father Michael Pfleger regarding this incident.

UPDATE 6/1/2025: LOCATED AND SAFE. NO FURTHER INFORMATION WILL BE GIVEN, BUT SHE IS OK!! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO SHARED AND PRAYED!!!!!! YOU ARE ALL AMAZING!

Chicagoland, Illinois
MISSING/POSSIBLY ENDANGERED MOTHER

Name: Darci Sappington-Lieske
White Female
Age: 46
Height: 5’4”
Weight: 200-250 pounds
Eye Color: Blue
Hair: Last known to be multi-colored
Darci wears glasses and has multiple tattoos on her arms, chest, back and ankle.

Last Contact: Late April, 2025
Last known location: Wrigleyville, Chicago, Illinois.

Darci’s family is very concerned for her well-being. Her last known location was the Wrigleyville neighborhood in Chicago but Darci was said to be in Maywood in April, possibly staying with friends. Darci is also known to frequent areas in DuPage County as well as Will County. Darci does not have a phone on her or any money. A Missing Persons Report was filed by her family out of Bolingbrook, Illinois. If you have any information regarding her whereabouts, please call the Bolingbrook Police Missing Persons Unit at (630) 226-8620. If you do not want to call police you may call the Missing Women of America Anonymous Tipline at (630) 509-4898. All callers will remain anonymous. Also, we ask if you think you see Darci to please call police immediately and please take a photo of her and anyone who may be with her - if you feel safe doing so.

Another cause for concern, is that Darci never picked up her last paycheck and since her disappearance has missed very important family events. She missed her son’s baby shower and she will soon miss the birth of her son’s baby if she is not located soon. She was also supposed to take care of her mother, after a surgery, but she never showed up to do so. Because of the reasons mentioned above, Darci’s family greatly fears that she could very well be in danger. Darci is a mother herself and her family is worried sick. Again, if you have ANY information on Darci’s whereabouts please help her family by calling the Bolingbrook Police Missing Persons Unit at the number above or the Missing Women of America Anonymous Tipline. We ask you to please share this post out anywhere and everywhere you are able and help not only Darci’s family but also Darci. Thank you so much in advance 🙏

Edited to add - the man in the last photo with her is the last known person to be with her.

WILKES BARRE, PA
BRYANNA COOPER ROSENDO
MISSING SINCE MAY 1st, 2021

LATEST UPDATE: There is a big possibility that Bryanna was now last seen in Southwest Baltimore in mid-late 2021. Three separate individuals believe they saw her there after her disappearance.

Bryanna is still missing. Someone out there knows Bryanna’s whereabouts or has vital information regarding her disappearance. In fact, I’m sure a few of you have knowledge about what happened to Bryanna. I am asking that you please put your fears aside and reach out with any information that you may have. You can contact the Wilkes-Barre Police with any information you may have. If you do not wish to contact the police you may anonymously submit a tip to Crime Stoppers or, as always, you may submit a tip to this page by hitting the message button on this post or by calling our tipline and leaving a voicemail (630) 509-4898 - you have my word you will remain anonymous. Bryanna was last seen in Wilkes-Barre, PA around May of 2021. There was talk that she was possibly going to Baltimore, Maryland but there was never any confirmation she ever went. Since May of 2021 there have been reports of people possibly seeing her, but they are unconfirmed.

UPDATE: It is extremely likely that her last known location was Southwest Baltimore in 2021. To read a quick summary and see further details of Bryanna’s case, please refer to the photos posted below. Please help Bryanna and her family and share this post out to as many groups and pages as you can. One post can make all the difference. Thank you so much in advance to anyone sharing this out!
