Summary

By the time Janteyl Johnson from Newark, Delaware, turned 15 years old in 2009, she knew what she wanted to do with her life. She was a driven young woman with the goals of becoming a hairstylist and salon owner. Soon after turning 15, Janteyl found out she was pregnant. This only made her even more determined to reach her goals. And she was well on her way to making them before she disappeared on February 3, 2010.
