Missing in Houston: 17-Year-Old Jami King Has Been Missing Since September 5

More than a month after Jami King went missing from Houston, the public is being asked to help bring information to investigators. The official case record identifies the investigating agency but does not explain the circumstances of the disappearance.

Seventeen-year-old Jami King has been missing from Houston, Texas, since September 5, 2026.

As of October 9, 34 days have passed since the date recorded in the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children’s case information.

For anyone who recognizes Jami or knows something about the disappearance, that information could help investigators determine what happened and where Jami may be.

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) identifies the Houston Police Department as the investigating agency. Jami’s case is assigned NCMEC number 2100503 and National Crime Information Center (NCIC) number M339064249.

The publicly available case information establishes the date and city of disappearance. It does not establish why Jami went missing, whether another person was involved, or where Jami may be now.

Those distinctions matter. A missing-child report is not, by itself, evidence of an abduction, trafficking or any other particular circumstance.

What the official record establishes

The information associated with Jami’s official missing-child poster identifies:

The public record reviewed for this report does not provide a verified account of the events immediately preceding the disappearance.

It also does not establish a confirmed sighting, destination or current location.

Without additional verified information, The Texas Public Record will not speculate about those unanswered questions.

Why public awareness matters

A missing-child case can remain unresolved even when identifying information is publicly available.

An official photograph, a name and a date may help someone recognize a person they have encountered. Information that initially seems insignificant may be relevant when evaluated alongside evidence already held by investigators.

Members of the public should not attempt to investigate the disappearance independently, confront anyone they suspect of involvement or circulate unverified claims about Jami’s whereabouts.

Anyone who believes they have relevant information should provide it directly to the investigating agency.

The objective is to help investigators receive useful information without creating confusion or spreading allegations unsupported by the record.

How to report information

Anyone with information about Jami King can contact the Houston Police Department at 713-884-3131.

Information can also be reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-843-5678 (1-800-THE-LOST).

For an immediate sighting or emergency, call 911.

People who share this report should include the official NCMEC case link so others can consult the identifying information and official photograph.

What remains unanswered

The publicly available information does not answer several consequential questions: what circumstances preceded Jami’s disappearance, whether investigators have established a likely location, and whether additional verified information can be released to assist the search.

Those questions remain open in this report. Their absence from the public listing should not be interpreted as evidence that investigators lack information.

The Texas Public Record will distinguish confirmed developments from unverified reports in any subsequent coverage.

For now, the public-service request is straightforward: review Jami King’s official missing-child poster, and report credible information directly to authorities.
