Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP9067) and 3 other sources
Elaina Nicole Kellis, a 19-year-old female, was last seen in Dallas, Texas, on January 5, 2001. She has remained missing ever since, and little is known about the circumstances leading to her disappearance. At the time, Elaina was described as being 5'7" tall, weighing approximately 125 pounds, with blonde hair and blue eyes. She had a distinctive tattoo on her right arm, featuring a red rose above a heart with her name "Elaina" written in a banner.

Elaina was reportedly involved in drug use at the time she went missing, which may have contributed to the uncertain nature of her disappearance. Despite ongoing investigations, no substantial leads have emerged over the years. Law enforcement and her family continue to search for answers, keeping her case open with the hope that new information will eventually come to light.

Her case is classified as endangered missing, and it is featured in various missing persons databases, including NamUs and the Texas Department of Public Safety. As with many cold cases, authorities encourage anyone with information to come forward to help solve this mystery.
