The St. Louis Police Department is urgently seeking public assistance in locating 26-year-old Deja, who has been reported missing since Tuesday. Deja, who is known to suffer from mental health conditions, was last seen standing on a porch in the 2800 block of Lemp after leaving her residence on the 3700 block of Texas around 11 a.m.

A detailed description has been released in an effort to aid the safe return of Deja. She was last observed wearing a black nightgown and blue-green socks, and she bears distinctive tattoos—the name "Timothy" on her right bicep and "Mike" on her chest. Authorities have raised concerns that she may not easily be identified as she might not provide her real name if approached.

The St. Louis Police Department has distributed photos of Deja and her tattoos to aid in her identification. These images are available on the police department's website and have been circulated in the media to increase public vigilance.

Anyone who comes into contact with Deja or believes they may have seen her is strongly encouraged to reach out to the authorities immediately. As the search becomes more pressing, the police have emphasized that the fastest way to relay information is to call 911.
