Na’Ziyah Harris’ Disappearance and the Shocking Case Against Jarvis Butts
The city of Detroit is once again shaken by a heartbreaking case involving the tragic disappearance of a young girl and the disturbing allegations against a man with a dark history. Na’Ziyah Harris, a 13-year-old girl who vanished exactly one year ago, has become the focus of a criminal investigation that has uncovered alarming details about a man now charged with her kidnapping and murder. The case has not only sparked outrage but also reignited urgent conversations about community safety and justice for victims.
A Tragic Disappearance and the Search for Justice
Na’Ziyah was last seen getting off a bus in Detroit last January. Her disappearance prompted a city-wide search, with police scouring neighborhoods and parks across Southeast Michigan. Despite extensive efforts, her body has yet to be recovered, leaving her family and community in anguish and uncertainty. Prosecutors initially charged Jarvis Butts with her kidnapping and murder in September 2024, alleging that he was responsible for her disappearance and death. A recent court hearing confirmed enough evidence to send Butts to trial, and the case continues to unfold with painful details emerging.
