The poster
Alyssa Evans, 15, has been missing from Anchorage, Alaska, since August 31, 2026. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children maintains an official missing-child poster for her — case NCMC/2101058/1 — which notes that she may have traveled to Bethel, Alaska, and that she has multiple piercings. The poster lists the Anchorage Police Department at (907) 786-8900 and NCMEC’s 24-hour call center at 1-800-843-5678.
An independent live feed of NCMEC’s active Alaska cases, computed on October 18, 2026, still lists “Alyssa Evans (AK) Age 15, ANCHORAGE, AK” among the active missing children in the state. A “Missing Child Alert” published by Alaska Headline Living in October 2026 asked the public to help bring her home safely. No report of her being found exists.
Anchorage, and possibly Bethel
The single most actionable public detail is the one on the poster: Alyssa may have traveled to Bethel, Alaska — a regional hub in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, roughly 400 miles west of Anchorage, reachable only by air or river. That possibility widens the area where someone might recognize her: if she left Anchorage, the people most likely to see her are in western Alaska’s communities, not just on the Railbelt.
Beyond that, the public record is thin. There is no published account of what she was wearing when she was last seen, who saw her last, or the circumstances under which she left. As with all cases in this publication, we report what the official record says and do not fill the gaps with speculation.
A national crisis in the numbers
Alyssa’s case has been framed by Alaska media within a broader and well-documented concern: missing Alaska Native and American Indian youth. According to the FBI data cited by Alaska Headline Living, 10,248 missing-person entries involving American Indian and Alaska Native people were recorded nationwide in 2024. Of those entries, 5,614 involved females, including 4,179 involving girls under age 18. Those are reports, not necessarily unique individuals — one person may be reported missing more than once. The U.S. Department of the Interior reported approximately 1,485 active missing-person records for American Indian and Alaska Native people nationwide as of June 30, 2026. In Alaska, the Department of Public Safety says environmental factors are believed to play a role in more than 75 percent of missing-person cases involving Alaska Native or American Indian people.
The statistics do not describe Alyssa’s individual case — they describe the context in which her poster sits, and why keeping her face visible matters.
