Marie Peter-Toltz, a 40-year-old artist and dual French-Australian national, was last seen in Los Angeles on April 23, 2022, and has not been located. She is described as White, 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall, about 120 pounds, with blonde hair, blue eyes and pierced ears. Her biography notes an MFA in painting from the New York Studio School and exhibition history in Australia.

Her disappearance intersects with several troubling circumstances. Peter-Toltz and her partner, Valentin Val Broeksmit, had been evicted on March 31, 2022, she was involved in an acrimonious custody dispute with her ex-husband, and Broeksmit had a history as a whistleblower. Broeksmit was found dead at a Los Angeles high school on April 25, 2022; his death was ruled an accident due to blunt force trauma to the torso and investigators said no foul play was suspected. Broeksmit had earlier been reported missing by Peter-Toltz in April 2021 when his car was found abandoned in Griffith Park.

The Los Angeles Police Department is handling the investigation but few public details are available and the case remained unresolved as of early 2023. If anyone knew Marie, her movements in Los Angeles in April 2022, or has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
