- Distinguishing Characteristics:
- Distinguishing Characteristics African-American female. Brown hair, brown eyes. Janteyl’s hair was in braids at the time of her disappearance, and her ears are pierced. Her nicknames are Jay and Puff. She has a scar on her chin under her lip and scars on her legs. She needs eyeglasses or contact lenses but wasn’t wearing either at the time of her disappearance. Janteyl’s first name is pronounced “Jon-tel.”
- Details of Disappearance:
- Janteyl vanished from her Newark, Delaware apartment on February 3, 2010. She went home sick from school, but disappeared before her brother could pick her up. Her mom reported her missing that night. The apartment door was unlocked, and nothing was stolen – not even her glasses or purse.
Her family thinks she left willingly, planning to come back, but something stopped her. The last call on her phone was from the father of her unborn baby (a 26-year-old man who hasn’t been publicly identified). Her phone signal was last detected near this man’s mother’s house. Police talked to him, but he’s not considered a suspect.
Janteyl’s family supported her pregnancy, so they don’t think she ran away. While she had run away once before, she came right back. She might still be nearby, or she could be in Wilmington, Philadelphia, Maryland, or New York, possibly with a man.
The case is still a mystery.
