Circumstances: Alana was dropped off at Taco Bell (1199 Berkshire Blvd, Wyomissing) on May 5th, 2025, at 11:00 AM for her shift. She finished work but didn’t return home, last seen between 2PM and 7PM. She has ties to Reading and Philadelphia, PA.

Commentary and Insights

Alana’s disappearance is alarming due to her young age and sudden vanishing after work. One opinion I have with people who are missing after work is that it increases the likelihood of stalking. I think someone who is in their commute behaves in a more predictable and patterned way. However, this is speculative.

The limited news coverage on this case mostly repeats the NamUs data. But her shift likely lasted 3-6 hours (legal limit for a minor without parental consent). A recent case in Reading, PA, involves a 15-year-old found alive on June 16, 2025, in North Carolina with Joseph A. Rossomando, 32, arrested for kidnapping and related charges (NBC News, June 18th, 2025). Though unrelated, it highlights regional abduction risks.
