Alaina Church: The Springfield Last-Seen Account
A March 2026 record provides a reported time and clothing description, but no exact site.
Abstract
NamUs MP157873 gives March 14, 2026 as Alaina Church’s last-contact date and describes her as last seen in Springfield, Tennessee at 23:10, or 11:10 p.m. It lists a missing age of 14 and Springfield Police Department case 2026-000387.1 The record does not identify the observer or exact location.
What the Last-Seen Account Provides
The circumstances narrative supplies the city, date, and time. The location fields identify Springfield, ZIP code 37172, in Robertson County.1 The time belongs to the reported last-seen account; the entry does not explain how it was established.
No street, residence, business, companion, vehicle, or direction of travel appears in the reviewed narrative. A city-level entry cannot support a more precise route or departure story.
The Identification and Clothing Details
NamUs lists brown hair, gray eyes, height 5 feet 3 inches, and weight 120 pounds. The clothing description is a tan sweatshirt, light gray sweatpants, and pink shoes.1 These details may help match a case-specific source, but do not establish a destination or reason for leaving.
The name fields supply Alaina and Church without a middle name or alias, and no distinctive physical features are entered.1 The missing-age field of 14 concerns the disappearance; it is kept separate from a later displayed age.
Report and Database Dates
Springfield Police Department is listed with case 2026-000387, phone (615) 384-8422, and report date March 14, 2026. The NamUs Case Created field gives April 22, 2026; the webpage Date Created label gives April 29, 2026.1 The report date matches the last-contact date, but the entry does not provide a report time or establish the sequence within that day.
Sourced Accounts and Questions
Here’s where you come in. Can you find a dated Springfield police statement tied to 2026-000387 that explains the 11:10 p.m. observation? NamUs supplies the time without identifying the observer or exact site.1 An attributable statement or report could clarify what supports that timestamp.
As you assemble the timeline, can you keep the March 14 contact and report labels separate from the April database and webpage labels?1 Preserve the date, source, and unanswered question in a Research File in Almost Solved. Matching calendar dates do not establish an undocumented sequence, and missing details do not justify assumptions about another person.
