Late summer 2022: then 17-year-old Lixi Lara-Gomez disappeared from Edmond, Oklahoma. She is described as Hispanic, straight black hair, brown eyes, five feet seven inches tall and about 120 pounds. The initial disappearance is dated September 28, 2022, and the missing person report was filed on October 14, 2022.

Investigators with the Logan County Sheriff’s Office believe Lixi ran away and there were early indications she may have traveled to the Dallas, Texas area, possibly to stay with a relative. She does not speak English, which has been noted as a significant barrier to her seeking help or being identified. She may be using the alias Yaneht Gomez and was reportedly active on social media as recently as January 23, 2023.

No confirmed location is public and the case remains open with the Logan County Sheriff’s Office. If anyone saw Lixi, knows her whereabouts, or has information about the alias Yaneht Gomez, please contact investigators handling the case.
