Areniz Del Carmen Lopez was 16 when she was last seen in Los Angeles on September 15, 2005. She was described as 5 feet 5 inches, weighing between 155 and 185 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. At the time she disappeared she was wearing a white shirt and black sweatpants.

Authorities classified the case as an endangered runaway and believe she may have left of her own accord; she might still be in the Los Angeles area. The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating. An age-progressed photo showing what she could look like at 36 has been produced and her case is listed with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Does anyone who knew Areniz or saw someone matching her description in Los Angeles after September 15, 2005 have information to share with the LAPD?
