There are conflicting accounts about the disappearance of Althea Wells from New Orleans that make the timeline hard to pin down. One report says Althea was 13 and was last seen on a spring afternoon in April 2023 near the 2400 block of D’Abadie Street, with her mother reporting her missing to the New Orleans Police Department. Another account describes a 16-year-old Althea who went missing in the summer of 2025 and was 15 when she vanished. Both versions say the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has the case registered and that social media was used to circulate her description, but no confirmed sightings have been reported since she was last seen.

The contradictory ages and dates leave it unclear whether this is one disappearance with mixed records or two separate cases involving different reported ages and times. Authorities named as contacts are the New Orleans Police Department and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. If anyone has verifiable information about Althea Wells or remembers seeing her in the 2400 block of D’Abadie Street area, please share details with investigators.
