OVERLAND PARK HAS BEEN HERE BEFORE WITH DAYANARA: THIS 16-YEAR-OLD NEEDS TO BE FOUND AGAIN 5744

Dayanara Gonzalez, a 16-year-old from Overland Park, Kansas, has been missing again since Friday, March 13, 2026. The Overland Park Police Department is urgently asking for the community’s help to locate her. What makes this case even more concerning is that this is not the first time Dayanara has disappeared. In October 2025, she went missing from the same city, and at that time, the Kansas City Police Department handled the case. Thankfully, Dayanara was found safe then. But now, she is missing once again, and this time, a new case has been opened under a different investigating agency.

Two separate disappearances. Same city. The same young girl. Her family and law enforcement are desperate for answers. The situation is especially alarming as it raises questions about why this has happened again. Dayanara’s family is living through the agony of not knowing where she is or what might have happened to her. Each disappearance leaves them heartbroken and fearful, and they are asking the community to come forward with any information that could help bring Dayanara back home safely.

Dayanara is described as a 16-year-old girl with long, brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen in Overland Park, but authorities are now concerned that she could be in a different area, given the circumstances of her disappearance. This case is still ongoing, and her family is asking the public to remain alert and share any information that might help. The Overland Park Police Department is working hard to find Dayanara, but they need the public’s help to crack this case.

If you have seen Dayanara or have any information on her whereabouts, you are urged to contact the Overland Park Police Department at (913) 895-6300 or the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) hotline at 1-800-843-5678. When you call, be sure to reference NCMEC case 2080663 or NCIC M178838603. Your information could be the key to finding Dayanara and bringing her back to her family.

Her family’s pain is compounded by the fact that this is the second time they have experienced the agony of not knowing where Dayanara is. They are asking anyone who might have seen her or knows something to speak up. They are hoping that someone in the community has noticed something that could help. It could be a small detail, but in a case like this, every detail counts.

Since her first disappearance, Dayanara has faced challenges that no young person should have to go through. The emotional toll of being away from home, not knowing where she is, and not being able to communicate with her family can be overwhelming for someone her age. The community, law enforcement, and her family are all desperately trying to bring her back safely.

This is not just a local issue—this is a community issue. The city of Overland Park, Johnson County, the entire Kansas City metro area, and all of Kansas need to stay on alert and work together to help bring Dayanara home. The more people who know about her disappearance, the more likely it is that someone will recognize her or have information that could lead to her recovery.

Her family continues to hold out hope that she will be found safe, just as she was before. But they need the public’s help to make that happen. Please share this post widely so that Dayanara’s story reaches as many people as possible. One share could help bring her home. One tip, no matter how small, could be the one that leads authorities to her location.

Please remember that any information, even the smallest detail, can make a difference in a case like this. If you’ve seen Dayanara or know anything that might help, do not hesitate to contact the authorities. It’s important that everyone in the community works together to make sure this young girl is found safe and returned to her family.

Dayanara has been found before and brought back home, and now she needs to be found again. Her family is counting on the community’s support. Let’s help bring Dayanara home safe.
