Kayla Eitel, 25, was last seen in the 70 block of Pershing Avenue in Sciotoville, Ohio. Her mother reported her missing six days after that sighting, and no contact has been made with Kayla since. She is a young mother to a daughter, and family members say she would not have willingly abandoned the child.

Foul play is suspected. Authorities identified a person of interest, David B. Arthur, who had prior convictions including aggravated robbery and burglary; Arthur killed his roommate and took his own life after a police standoff in June 2018, and he was never charged in Kayla’s disappearance. Rumors have circulated about another local man with whom Kayla may have had negative interactions, but that individual has not been publicly named as a suspect.

Kayla is described as having blonde hair and hazel eyes and several distinctive tattoos: a heart with the name Shaylyn on the back of her left shoulder, a star on her left thumb, stars above each breast, a faded bird on her buttocks, and stars wrapping around her right side. Anyone with information about Kayla’s whereabouts is asked to come forward.
