National Missing Children’s Day 2025: The FBI Reaffirms Its Year-Round Commitment To Reuniting Missing And Kidnapped Children With Their Families

The FBI offers a piece on National Missing Children’s Day.

On September 23, 2024, 13-year-old Stefanie Damron stepped out of her home and walked into the nearby woods in New Sweden, Maine. It was the last time anyone saw her. The next day, her parents filed a missing person report. 

The FBI immediately responded to assist the Maine State Police. The FBI's Child Abduction Rapid Deployment—or CARD team—went to work. Since then, investigators have conducted dozens of interviews and followed up on leads in Maine, across the country, and even in Canada. 

But despite extensive investigative efforts, including a neighborhood canvas and video search, along with an expansive grid search using canines from the Maine Warden Service and Maine State Police, Stefanie is still missing 

Stefanie is one of dozens of missing children the FBI is working to bring home. Each year on May 25—National Missing Children's Day—we reaffirm our commitment to investigating these cases and finding children who have been reported kidnapped or missing, and we continue to encourage parents, caregivers, and others to make child safety a priority.
