Cleveland police are asking the public to help locate 12-year-old Kamile Stover, who has been reported missing.
A Cleveland Police First District post on Facebook shared information about Stover. The available material does not establish when the post was published or provide additional details about her disappearance.
Reports identify Stover as having brown eyes and brown hair. They say she was last seen March 25 near Gaylord Avenue and East 93rd Street and was known to frequent East 105th Street and Ansel Road.
Conflicting Details From Earlier Reports
The current police flyer differs in several respects from an earlier account of Stover's disappearance. In April, cleveland19.com reported that she was last seen March 25 in the 9300 block of Gaylord Avenue, wearing a black T-shirt and white pajama pants patterned with red hearts. That report placed her known activity around East 105th Street and Ansel Road, rather than Kinsman or downtown.
The earlier report also listed her height as 5 feet, compared with 5 feet 2 inches in the current flyer. Both accounts listed her weight, brown hair and brown eyes. The information reviewed for this story does not explain the differences, and police have not publicly reconciled the accounts.
Missing-Child Reports in Context
Official data provide broader context but do not establish a trend or classification for Stover's case. According to the Ohio Attorney General's 2021 Missing Children Clearinghouse report, the clearinghouse issued five Endangered Missing Child alerts involving five children that year, and all five were recovered safe. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children reported that 93% of the nearly 29,000 missing-child reports it received in 2023 involved children who ran away. Separately, NCMEC said it assisted law enforcement with 29,568 missing-child cases in 2024 and helped bring 91% of those children home, according to its 2024 data summary. Those national figures do not indicate how Stover's case is classified or predict its outcome.
Who To Contact With Information
Earlier reporting directed the public to the Fourth District Bureau and listed 216-623-5400 for tips.
Stover remains missing, and police have not said where she may be or when she was last confirmed safe. Anyone with information about her whereabouts is urged to contact investigators.
