DAYTON — A large search was launched Sunday in the hopes of finding a missing woman last seen in Trotwood.

According to Dayton Police Department, Cierra Chapman was last seen in the early morning hours on Tuesday, Dec. 27 leaving her ex-boyfriend’s apartment in Trotwood.

Her vehicle was recovered on Jewell Avenue in Middletown Friday with no sign of Chapman, according to Maj. Brian Johns, commander of Dayton’s investigations division.

Johns said crews are currently processing the vehicle for evidence.

Her disappearance has been deemed “suspicious.”

“I have no doubt that people here in Dayton, Ohio know what happened. This was an orchestrated event...this was a very well planned out incident so people know,” Johns said.

‘I just want my baby home;’ Mother of Cierra Chapman speaks out for first time​

A local mom has been missing for a year, and now her mother is speaking out for the first time about the search for her daughter.

Kelly Vann looks at photos of her daughter Cierra Chapman all the time.

“Cierra is a kind, caring person. Cierra would give her life and her right arm to help anybody she could help,” Vann said.

Chapman was also a mother of a teenage son.

“He asked me every day, have I heard anything yet? I tell him no, not yet,” Vann said.

Chapman’s 31st birthday is Sunday.

Her mother said she loved celebrating her birthday and celebrating with her sister in Cincinnati.

Instead of celebrating her birthday with her daughter this weekend, Vann will be attending a candelight vigil in her honor.

A candelight vigil will be held on Nov. 11 from 2:30-4:30 p.m. at Sinclair Park in Dayton.


“I figured between the time that we made the report and the time that has passed already, we would have heard something,” she said. “Now I’m at the point like I’m getting frustrated. I’m getting upset. I’m trying to spin my head around this, but ain’t nobody coming to tell me nothing. So it’s time for the mother to come from behind the walls and speak out about ‘what are y’all doing, where’s my child at?’”

A digital billboard in Dayton has Chapman’s picture on it.

It was put up in the hopes someone knows something, but so far her family has heard nothing.

“Please speak up, please let us know, call somebody, tell somebody. We all worry, we all sitting here, I cry every night,” Vann said.
 
So many questions. There's footage of her vehicle leaving at 4:30 am, but where's the footage showing when she arrived? How long was she there? How do the police know exactly what route was taken? Was she at J-Rocks the night she disappeared? I read a patrol officer found her car, but how long was it parked there before it was found? Why aren't they releasing the name of the ex? It seems like the police know more than they're telling, which is confusing. I understand withholding information during a homicide investigation, but as of now, Cierra is missing. Why withhold information that could help find her?

Welcome! Just wanted to say hi!

Great questions. I am not fresh on this one and am headed for work shortly but yes, this has been almost a year and where is she? And why aren't they providing more and do they have any progress??

In the meantime others are probably more up on it than I. Going to try to go read back on it later.

Police remain ‘steadfast in its commitment’ to find Cierra Chapman 1 year after disappearance​

Today marks one year since a Dayton woman went missing and questions about what happened remain unanswered.

Cierra Chapman was last seen leaving the apartment of her ex-boyfriend in Trotwood in the early morning hours on Dec. 27, 2022.


A year later, investigators are still trying to figure out what happened to her, but have said her disappearance is considered suspicious.

As we reported on News Center 7 at 5:00 on Wednesday, Dayton Police Major Brian Johns said the department “is steadfast in its commitment to locate” Chapman.

“Throughout this time, our investigators have maintained close communication with her family, employing advanced technology and all available resources to not only locate Cierra but also to apprehend any individual(s) responsible for her disappearance,” Johns said.

A spokesperson for the FBI also told News Center 7 on Wednesday that there were “no new updates other than the investigation remains ongoing.”

News Center 7 spoke to Chapman’s mother, Kelly Vann, for the first time last month right around Chapman’s 31st birthday. She told our team that she felt it was time to come forward.

“I figured between the time that we made the report and the time that has passed already, we would have heard something,” she said. “Now I’m at the point like I’m getting frustrated. I’m getting upset. I’m trying to spin my head around this, but ain’t nobody coming to tell me nothing. So it’s time for the mother to come from behind the walls and speak out about ‘what are y’all doing, where’s my child at?’”

In February the FBI offered a $10,000 reward for information that leads to finding Chapman. In March, Miami Valley Crime Stoppers offered an additional $10,000.

They should be sharing what they can with mom and advising of what they are doing and the time it is taking. I see no reason she is a suspect and so they should be sharing with her judiciously before she breaks or cracks and is at the end of the frustration rope as she says here.

Jmo. LE like it or not need to do that, maybe they don't consider it the big part or necessary in their job but it is huge to the family who does not have answers and is grieving and for the control of the case. She should have a regular at least weekly contact with an investigator.

Even if they can't share much, that should occur and be constant and reassuring regarding their continued efforts.

Family of missing Ohio woman renews call for help to find loved one

The FBI is offering a $20,000 reward.

Family of missing Ohio woman renews call for help to find loved one​

The family of a missing Dayton woman remains hopeful information about their loved one will help find her as National Missing Children’s Day nears.

Cierra Chapman has not been seen since December 2022.

“We’re really struggling because we’re like at a standstill, nobody is saying anything,” Chapman’s aunt, Toya Gilliard, expressed.

The 31-year-old was last seen at her ex-boyfriend’s home in Trotwood near Dayton.


The Dock Ellis Foundation, an organization dedicated to providing support for minority families of missing people, first connected with Chapman’s family shortly after she went missing.

“The community needs to understand law enforcement doesn’t have a magic stick,” Dock Ellis Foundation LLC CEO Jasmine Ellis said. “They don’t have a crystal ball where they can just magically figure out where an individual is. You have to have the community play that part as well. You have to have the community speak up.”

Champman’s family is not alone in wondering where their loved one is.

The FBI shared a list of missing children ahead of National Missing Children’s Day.

The Ohio Attorney General’s Office announced Friday that more than 22,000 Ohioans were reported missing last year. 17,405 of them were children.

“We all want to have hope, and we all want to keep her alive in our mind, but we want closure,” stated Gilliard. “We want to know facts. We want to know why, where, and how.”
 
22,000 PEOPLE IN A YEAR, the majority CHILDREN in OHIO?

They can talk of not having a magic stick and community having to do its part but I'd say uhm something is really wrong here and OHIO has a HUGE PROBLEM and what are THEY DOING ABOUT IT? That is a RIDICULOUS number of children and adults in a year.
 

Unsolved Ohio: Woman missing since 2022 under ‘very suspicious’ circumstances​

In December 2022, an Ohio woman was last seen in security camera footage at an ex-boyfriend’s apartment complex. While her car was found a short time later in a town she had no known connections to, she remains missing with police calling her disappearance “very suspicious.”

Cierra Chapman, a mother of one son, vanished at 30 years old. At the time of her disappearance, she was living with her sister on Cambridge Avenue in Dayton.

“Cierra was a lovely mother,” said Cierra’s aunt, Regina Chapman. “She was family-oriented. We did a lot of vacation times, spent time with the family. … She loves working on cars. She loves her animals.”


Cierra’s ex-boyfriend gave a verbal statement over the phone but had not seen police in person as of January 2023 despite them asking him to meet. The Dayton Police Department told NBC4 they are limited in the information and updates they can share due to the ongoing investigation. Cierra has not been in contact with anybody, and there has been no activity on her bank account since the day she was last captured on camera, police said at the news conference.


Regina said Cierra would have never left her son, who is now 16 years old. She asked anyone who may have information about her niece’s disappearance to come forward and contact law enforcement so her family can get closure.

“I worry a lot and every time I hear anything it makes me nervous,” Regina said. “If I hear they found remains, I get nervous. When her son calls me and talks to me, he’s missing his mom. He wants his mom and that’s the hardest part.”

The FBI is assisting with the investigation and offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the recovery of Cierra as well as information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the person responsible for her disappearance.
 

It’s been 2 years: Where is Cierra Chapman?​

Federal and local law enforcement officials are still seeking information to locate Cierra Chapman.

Chapman was last seen on the early morning of Dec. 27, 2022 at an apartment on Autumn Woods Drive in Trotwood. She was reported missing two days later, and her vehicle was discovered a week-and-a-half later in Middletown.

A reward of up to $10,000 is being offered by the FBI for information which leads to the recovery of Chapman and information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for Chapman’s disappearance.
