Case Summaries

Our investigative partners are currently working cases that involve missing persons and homicide victims—many of whom are considered cold cases. Below are summaries of a few of the cases we’ve worked on recently or are currently working on.

From the age of 14, Sienna suffered unimaginable sexual abuse at the hands of her parents. But it didn’t end there—her parents trafficked her for money. Eventually, she escaped but ended up on the streets under the control of several prostitution ring leaders. In March of 2021, Sienna disappeared completely. NILJ was asked to find her in November of 2023. Through boots on the ground investigation and interviews, she was found alive in a women’s shelter in January of 2024.

2005 Cold Case - Long Awaited Answers in Missing Teen Case

A teen went missing without a trace in 2005. Local law enforcement and the FBI welcomed NILJ’s assistance in moving the case along after leads dried up years ago. After thorough investigative work and interviews, the NILJ investigative team found the location where the teen’s body was likely hidden. Our valued partner, Stapleton Security Search and Rescue Canine, provided a cadaver dog to work the suspected crime scene.
