A Prince George’s County family is desperately searching for 18-year-old Janiyah Thompson, who disappeared over a month ago.

Thompson was last seen at the Naylor Road Metro Station. She told her older brother she was headed off to take care of something, and she hasn’t been heard from since.

Thompson’s family told News4 that it’s extremely unlike her to not contact them, and they worry something bad has happened.

“We haven’t heard a word or haven’t heard anything,” Clinton Hubbard, Thompson’s father, said. “It’s definitely devastating.”

According to Hubbard, his daughter is a junior at Eastern Senior High School and is part of the ROTC program.

Her family is also concerned because she needs medications.

“We just want her to come home. I love her, her mother loves her, her brothers and sisters love her, her aunts and uncles,” Hubbard said. “Everybody cares about her. We all love you. We just want you to come home.”
 
Surely the station had cameras showing if she boarded and which route?

Probably too late to mention, but just in case, any locals might want to tune in tonight to NBC 4 Washington:
"NBC NEWS 4 will air the story on Janiyah Thompson tonight at 11pm"

Just wanted to clarify a small detail. Since she's still in high school, she's part of the Jr. ROTC program.

WMATA says there are cameras at all stations. Under Features: "Closed circuit video cameras cover every area of the station. Monitors are in the station manager's kiosk."
"All new buses have security cameras on the inside and outside."
I could not find a similar statement about Metrorail cars, the newest of which are the 7000-series.

What we do not know is:
  1. how did she get to the station?
  2. which part of the station was she seen in?
  3. was she catching a Green Line train, Metrobus, TheBus, or a rideshare?
  4. was she catching a ride from someone she knew, or did not know and was not a rideshare?
