Description
I lost my sister Elena Martinez yesterday around 3:15pm in Janesville. She was wearing a forest-green parka, a bright red scarf, and blue jeans, and she wears a silver moon pendant. She has a small bird tattoo on her right inner forearm. The last sighting was near Riverside Park, at the corner of Center Ave and Main St, heading toward the public library. I'm really worried—she has asthma and needs her inhaler, and she might be disoriented alone. If you spot her, please message me here on the site so I can coordinate a safe reunion. Any info helps; I just want her home.

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.
