Hope for Layla

Hello and thank you for joining the search for Layla. We are ready and willing to do whatever it takes to bring Layla Santanello HOME.

Layla is a 21-year-old mother who went missing on June 27th 2023. She was last seen traveling on foot at the Marble Slab Creamery located in the East Stone Commons Shopping Center in Kingsport TN around 12:30pm.

Layla is a white female, 4'10” tall weighing 115 lbs, very petite. Her hair color was bleach blonde with dark roots at the time of her disappearance. She was last seen wearing black leggings and a white tank top and was barefoot. She has multiple tattoos, most noticeable are the Roman numerals on her collar bone and her daughter's name “Nova Grace” written beautifully down her left forearm.

Layla is a beautiful, creative and loving soul. She possesses the biggest heart, a larger-than-life personality and is loved and and cherished by so many. Most of all Layla's 2-year-old daughter Nova Grace, who needs her mama home safe. Her parents, Jennifer Santanello and George Emmett, are devastated and desperately seeking any information available to help bring their beloved first born child home!
