Missing in Virginia Beach

Elisa Ruth Brewer, 12, Chesapeake, Virginia — missing since August 26th.
She needs her medication. That's not a detail — that's the clock running on this search, and the MCA Virtual Search Party™ needs every set of eyes moving on Elisa right now.

REGIONAL THREAT REPORT (not case-related)

🔴 DANGER LEVEL: 9/10 — CRITICAL
🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥⬜

Hampton Roads is one of the most actively patrolled trafficking regions in Virginia. In July 2026, the Virginia Beach Police Department's Special Investigations Bureau — operating as part of the Hampton Roads Human Trafficking Task Force — conducted a two-day Vice and Human Trafficking operation that resulted in five arrests, including charges of s*x trafficking and use of electronic devices to facilitate offenses involving minors. The Hampton Roads Human Trafficking Task Force is a federally-funded multi-agency coalition led by HSI that operates across the region, including Chesapeake. The Southern Virginia ICAC Task Force covers Chesapeake's jurisdiction. Virginia State Police reported a statewide weekly average of 98 missing children in 2025. NCMEC's 2025 data found that 17% of children missing from care were identified as likely trafficking victims. Elisa is 12 years old with documented medical needs — a child this age who cannot go without her medication does not have the window that other missing children have. Age, medical vulnerability, and an active regional trafficking presence all converge here.

The MCA Search Team doesn't stop at city limits. Elisa's face needs to be reaching people who've never heard her name — that's how children are found, and that's why we share. Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd who leaves everything to find the one who is lost, is who we are trusting to bring Elisa home. "So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows." — Matthew 10:31 ❤️🙏

Before you go — tell us in the comments the city and state you're sharing from. Every location helps us see where Elisa's face has landed and where we still need to push.

*Elisa's face hasn't reached your network yet. That changes now.*

Virginia Beach

Serenity Elizabeth Whalen, 15, Virginia Beach, Virginia — August 18, 2026
She walked out the door two days ago with pink hair and a birthmark on her chin, and nobody has seen her since.

REGIONAL THREAT REPORT (not case-related)

🔴 DANGER LEVEL: 8/10 — CRITICAL

Virginia Beach is not a place law enforcement has overlooked — it's a place law enforcement keeps coming back to. The Virginia Beach Police Department Special Investigations Bureau, operating as part of the Hampton Roads Human Trafficking Task Force, has conducted repeated operations in this city and the surrounding area. In June 2025, a two-day enforcement action resulted in four arrests, six identified victims, and confirmed out-of-state trafficking connections that triggered ongoing federal investigations. In July 2026 — just weeks before Serenity disappeared — the same unit recovered a 16-year-old trafficking victim from a hotel in the area, working alongside Homeland Security Investigations and Virginia State Police. That same month, a separate VBPD vice operation resulted in five more charges specifically targeting individuals seeking to exploit or recruit children for commercial s*x. The Hampton Roads Human Trafficking Task Force is a federally funded regional operation — its repeated presence here is itself the data. This is a high-traffic coastal city with confirmed active networks, documented minor victims, and cross-jurisdictional trafficking activity that law enforcement has publicly acknowledged is ongoing.

Every member of the MCA Virtual Search Party™ who shares this right now is part of Serenity's search. We trust Jesus Christ to bring her home. "I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent." — Luke 15:7
