On December 19, 2018, 16-year-old Iyana Sawyer, a straight-A student from Jacksonville, Florida, was seen on surveillance footage leaving her high school early. It started as a typical school day, but what followed would plunge her family into an unthinkable tragedy. Iyana was five months pregnant and her family had been supportive of the young teen mom-to-be — yet on that morning, she vanished without a trace.

Her sister noticed Iyana didn’t board the bus home, and soon, frantic phone calls were made. One aunt called 911, while another rushed to the school to look for her, but there was no sign of Iyana. In the school security footage, Iyana leaves the property around 11 AM, carrying two bags filled with school supplies and personal items, including a body pillow and Victoria’s Secret clothing. No one at the time knew if she was picked up by someone or left on her own accord - another runaway teen.

What we know now, is that Iyana had a secret, a secret that would change everything.
