The King William County Sheriff’s Office is urgently asking for the public’s help in locating a critically missing juvenile, Annalise Marie Dean (DOB: August 11, 2009). Authorities stress that time is critical, and community assistance could play a vital role in ensuring her safe return.

Annalise was last seen on Friday, January 30, 2026, along Upshaw Road, traveling in the direction of West River Road / Richmond–Tappahannock Highway. Since that time, her whereabouts have remained unknown, and law enforcement has expressed serious concern for her safety and well-being.

At the time she was last seen, Annalise was wearing:

• A tan hooded jacket

• A pink shirt

• Gray sweatpants

Because of the circumstances surrounding her disappearance, authorities have classified Annalise as critically missing, a designation used when there is heightened concern that a juvenile may be in danger. Her family, friends, and the broader community are anxiously awaiting news and holding onto hope that she will be located quickly and safely.

Law enforcement officials are urging anyone who may have seen Annalise, or who may have surveillance footage, doorbell camera recordings, or dashcam video from the area during that time, to review it carefully and report anything that could assist investigators. Even the smallest detail—something that may not seem important—could provide the crucial lead needed to bring her home.

Community members are also encouraged to share this information widely across social media and with neighbors, as increased awareness can significantly improve the chances of locating a missing child.
