Addison Van Ballegooyen has been missing since Monday, January 13th, 2025. She has "sandy" hair and blue eyes. Addison's height is 5'3''. The South Dakota Missing Persons website has the latest information we know about Addison's disappearance. Family and friends online have confirmed the year on the South Dakota Missing Persons website is wrong. It should say "2025" and not "2024."

Family members are very concerned for Addison's whereabouts and safety. She was last seen wearing a gray hoodie, black leggings, and white Nike shoes. Addison's disappearance is now upgraded as an "Endangered Missing Person."

We can’t find my Addison Vanballegooyenegooyen. She does not have her phone. She left her car and cell phone. We have reason to believe that someone is hiding her in Norfolk or she’s getting a ride to Texas where JESSE LEWIS is. Jesse has physically abused her many times. We are so worried and scared for her. If anyone has ANY information please reach out to my family.

This is always a scary situation for families and friends of a missing loved one. At the time of this article post, one family member's Facebook post about Addison has been shared online on Facebook over 1,000 times.

There is limited public information about Addison's disappearance and the events that led to it. Any resident with leads or information about Addison’s whereabouts is highly encouraged to contact the Union County Sheriff's Office at 605-356-2679.

Let's help Addison's family and bring her home!
