Everson is described as Black, about 5 feet 2 inches tall and 120 pounds, with brown eyes and long black hair usually worn straight, according to the report.

What broader missing-child figures can—and cannot—show
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children said it assisted law enforcement with 29,568 missing-child cases in 2024 and helped bring 91% of those children home. Those are nationwide figures; they do not indicate the circumstances or likely outcome of Everson’s individual case.
For people unsure how to report an urgent concern, Atlanta 311 advises calling 911 immediately if someone is missing or abducted in the city, or if the caller believes the person is in danger. The guidance provides a general reporting route and does not establish any additional facts about Everson’s situation.
