"The Kingston Police are asking for the public’s help in locating a missing 14-year-old, named Klaira."
Police appeal and how to report information
Investigators are asking anyone who has seen Klaira or who may have information about her whereabouts to contact Kingston Police immediately at 613-549-4660 ext. 0. Police did not release a family name or additional identifying details, a step commonly taken in cases involving minors.
Members of the public who live in or travel through Wright Crescent and the Kingscourt area should check personal security cameras, dashcams and smartphones for any footage from the afternoon of Aug. 8 that may show the youth or provide leads to her direction of travel. Even small details — a description of a vehicle, the direction someone walked, or a brief interaction — can be important to investigators.
Local context and community impact
Missing-person incidents involving young teenagers tend to mobilize neighbourhood networks quickly. In Kingston, where residential streets and apartment pockets mix with commercial corridors, knowledge of local routines and sightlines can make a real difference. Wright Crescent is a residential strip where neighbours often recognise each other’s daily patterns. The Kingscourt area includes multi-unit housing and commercial pockets where a young person might spend time or encounter acquaintances.
Police appeals like this one also prompt community supports — from volunteer search parties to social-media sharing — though authorities caution that organized searches should be coordinated through police to avoid compromising evidence or safety. Parents and guardians in nearby streets frequently review safety plans and keep children’s contacts current at times like this.
What to do if you see Klaira

Instead, note the location, direction of travel, clothing and any accompanying persons or vehicles and contact Kingston Police at the number above. If you believe the youth is in immediate danger, call 9-1-1.
