The Philadelphia Police Department is seeking public assistance in the search for a young girl reported missing. Iyanna Plenty, just 14, was last seen on April 8, 2024, boarding a SEPTA bus near her home at 73xx block of Devon St, according to Philadelphia Police.
Law enforcement and family members are expressing urgent concern for Iyanna, who has not been seen since the early hours of that morning; her disappearance sparking worry as the hours tick without a trace of her whereabouts. The Philadelphia Police have determined her last known location as the area of Cottman Ave & Roosevelt Blvd, based on the last ping from her cell phone, which was at approximately 3:30 pm on the day of her disappearance, a detailed account emerging from the police department's official blotter.
Iyanna Plenty is described as being 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighing around 140 pounds, with brown eyes and shoulder-length black hair. At the time she was last seen, she was wearing all-black clothing—an ensemble that would make her hard to spot in the bustling city streets. The Philadelphia Police are urging anyone who has information regarding Iyanna's whereabouts to come forward, emphasizing that even the smallest detail could be crucial in this tense search.
Anyone with relevant information is being urged to contact the authorities; in the meantime, the police and volunteers continue to interrogate the silence that answers back with no sign of Iyanna Plenty.
