On October 10, 2025, our beloved Aeriel went missing after leaving her Minneapolis apartment. After over a week of searching and praying, she was tragically found on October 18, 2025, in a pond at The Wood Lake Nature Center in Richfield, MN.

Our hearts are broken. Aeriel was only 29 years old, a loving daughter, sister, cousin, and friend whose smile brightened every room.

Thanks to the generosity of so many, we were able to give Aeriel a beautiful and dignified farewell. We are deeply grateful to everyone who donated, shared, and supported our family during that painful time.

Why We Are Updating This Fund

Although the funeral has passed, our family still has no answers. The police have not provided a cause of death or meaningful updates, and we are left with more questions than information.

We are now raising funds to hire an attorney who can help us obtain records, advocate for our family, and ensure that all proper investigative steps are being taken. We believe legal support is necessary to get clarity and justice for Aeriel.

How New Donations Will Be Used

All future contributions will go toward attorney fees and investigative support.

Your past donations helped us honor Aeriel’s life; your continued support will help us pursue the truth.

Thank you for standing with our family. Please keep us in your thoughts as we seek answers and justice for Aeriel.

With gratitude,

The Family of Aeriel Johnson
