Na'Dyia Curtis, the child's aunt, made contact with Eboni at a rear door of West Elementary School at 100 Dix Road and walked her to the vehicle where the child's mother, Britney Coney, was waiting.

Anyone seeing the missing person, suspect, associate, or vehicle, or anyone having any information related to the endangered missing person should immediately dial 911 to contact the nearest law enforcement agency or call the Jefferson City Police Department at 573-634-6400.
