Cleveland police are asking the public for help finding 11-year-old twins Nylay John and Nikolai John, who went missing sometime during the week of Sept. 28 after reportedly making a comment about running away from home. The siblings were last seen in the 900 block of Rondel Road, and investigators say the comment about leaving came sometime after midnight on a Thursday night.
Who Are Nylay and Nikolai John
According to Fox 8 Cleveland, Nylay and Nikolai are brother and sister, both 11 years old and both standing about 4 feet tall. Nylay weighs roughly 91 pounds, has brown eyes and pink hair, while Nikolai weighs about 100 pounds and has brown eyes with black hair. Both children were last seen wearing East Academy sweatshirts paired with gray pants, the station reports.
The station's report notes that the twins' comment about running away came late Thursday night, after midnight, though it does not specify what prompted the remark or what happened in the hours that followed. No further details about the circumstances of their disappearance have been made public.

Anyone with information about the twins' whereabouts is urged to contact Cleveland police. Fox 8 Cleveland's report lists the Cleveland Division of Police Fifth District number as 216-327-7158, though the Cleveland Division of Police contact page lists the Fifth District's number as 216-623-5500 — a discrepancy worth noting for anyone trying to call in a tip.
