Missing person: 22-year-old woman near Ped Mall
Description
Hi, I’m looking for my sister, Leena Kapoor, who disappeared yesterday around 3pm. She’s about 5'4", with shoulder-length black hair and a light olive complexion. She was wearing a blue Iowa Hawkeyes hoodie, black leggings, and white sneakers. Last seen near the Pedestrian Mall by the Old Capitol in downtown Iowa City, walking toward Clinton Street. She has a crescent-m moon tattoo on her left ankle and wears a red beaded bracelet on her right wrist. She has autism and tends to wander, which has me really worried. If you spot her, reach out to me here and we’ll coordinate to bring her home safely.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
