Emma Gladys Reina Yat Choc was 16 when she disappeared from Gastonia, North Carolina, on March 7, 2023. She’s described at the time as 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall, about 127 to 130 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.

She was last seen on Hillcrest Avenue getting into a gray Honda CR-V, believed to be a 2001 to 2004 model with dark-colored front and rear bumpers. Reports say she entered the vehicle voluntarily and was accompanied by her nephew. A family member abroad later received a call from the nephew saying a woman had given them a ride to Houston, Texas, and that they were fine. Beyond that phone call, official contact and Emma’s whereabouts are unknown.

If anyone in Gastonia or Houston recalls seeing Emma, the gray CR-V, or knows the nephew or the woman who drove them, please come forward with information.
