This case was just posted today to NCMEC, despite her being missing over a month. Let's give it the attention it needs. I just submitted her to MPIA so hopefully she'll get more attention.

There's not a single mainstream (or even small local media) coverage of her going missing back in January. Nothing on FB either from family/friends in the last month. Was she in foster care? I can't imagine her parents not sounding the alarm any way they could in this time, but perhaps I'm just missing another platform where that info is shared.

You're not missing a platform. Someone reported her missing to the police 1/26. There hasn't been anybody reporting on it because she wasn't 11 or younger, or mentally impaired. Those are the criteria for missings in Milwaukee to be considered "critical" and thus on the news. I don't know if MKEPD put her on NCMEC today or family did.
My contact at MKEPD is at a convention, so I can't ask. But DeAsia doesn't even have a social media presence herself, it seems. Hard to track.
