In Columbia, South Carolina, a family’s world has been turned upside down. Sixteen-year-old Adrianna Coleman, a vibrant teenager with dreams as big as her smile, vanished without a trace on July 24, 2025. As days turned into weeks, her loved ones have been left grappling with unbearable uncertainty, clinging to hope, and pleading for answers. Every night, they go to bed with empty arms and shattered hearts, praying for a phone call, a lead, or a miracle that will bring Adrianna home.
Adrianna’s disappearance has sent shockwaves through her community, prompting an urgent call for help from the Columbia Police Department and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). Described as a bright and beloved young woman, Adrianna was last seen in Columbia, a city she called home. While specific details about her last known whereabouts remain limited, authorities have emphasized that every moment counts in the effort to find her. The community is rallying together, sharing her story, and keeping her face and name alive in the hopes that someone, somewhere, holds the key to her safe return.
The Columbia Police Department has been working tirelessly, following every possible lead in the case. They urge anyone with even the smallest piece of information to come forward. A single tip could make all the difference. The NCMEC, a vital resource in missing children cases, has also joined the effort, offering their 24-hour hotline for anyone who might have seen or heard something that could help. The numbers to call are clear: the Columbia Police Department at 803-252-2911 or the NCMEC at 1-800-843-5678.
As the days stretch on, Adrianna’s family remains steadfast, holding onto hope even as their hearts ache. They ask for the public’s help in keeping her story alive—because every share, every conversation, and every moment someone takes to look at her face could bring them closer to finding her. This is more than a missing person case; it’s a community’s plea, a family’s prayer, and a call to action for anyone reading this.
