8 YEARS LATER, STILL NO SIGN OF MISSING DELAWARE TEEN

---

Janteyl Johnson, who was 15 and pregnant when she vanished on Feb. 3, 2010, would be 23, and her baby would be almost 8. There are no suspects in Janteyl's disappearance. It's like she fell off the face of the earth, never to be seen or heard from again.

Janteyl did have a history of running away, but it's clear — based on all the information I've gathered over the years — that Janteyl probably never planned to be gone this long. It makes no sense. It's absurd to think that a 15-year-old pregnant teen could pull that off on her own for this long. 

​It's safe to say that something else happened, but the older man investigators believe she may have left with has refused to speak with investigators. He's moved on with his life. 

​There are so many questions. What else has the person responsible for Janteyl's disappearance been able to get away with by now? Was he the only person involved in her disappearance? What about her child? If they are in a different state, would the FBI get involved?

We know that in the beginning, the police focused on two investigative leads: the 27-year-old alleged father of her unborn child and a 42-year-old man who was also in contact with Janteyl the day she disappeared. He has spoken with investigators. This information is solid as a rock and confirmed with multiple sources. Then there's a third guy, but I don't know much about him yet. 

Of course, there's always a possibility that something else happened altogether. Maybe Janteyl left with someone that investigators don't know about. It's unlikely, but anything is possible.​

​​Even though there have been many twists and turns in the case over the years — especially in the last 9 months — everything leads back to the same question: Who benefitted most by having Janteyl disappear?
