Case Information:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Janteyl Danielle Johnson<\/strong>\u00a0was 15 years old when she disappeared from\u00a0Newark, Delaware<\/a>\u00a0on February 3, 2010. She left school early that afternoon because she wasn\u2019t feeling well and was last seen on surveillance video entering a store to buy candy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When her family returned home later that evening, they found the apartment door unlocked and her belongings \u2014 including her glasses, purse, and winter clothing \u2014 still inside, suggesting she intended to return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case Details:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Phone records revealed that Janteyl received a call from a burner phone shortly after arriving home, and the final call to her phone came from the 26\u2011year\u2011old father of her unborn child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her phone last pinged near the residence of his mother, though he has never been publicly named a suspect, and investigators have not confirmed whether he was the last person to see her alive.<\/p>\n\n\n
