Ruthey Macenzie Smith, 19, was last seen on March 2, 2022, near Figueroa and 70th streets in Los Angeles, an area noted in the report for prostitution activity. She supported a young daughter through sex work and had told family she feared for her safety and wanted to leave that lifestyle.

At disappearance she wore a light-colored jacket, black slippers and carried a black purse. She has several tattoos, including Ocean with a wave on her chest and the names Ezra and La'Marion near her temples. Long Beach Police Department investigators suspect foul play but Ruthey has not been found and the case remains unsolved.

Anyone who knew Ruthey, saw her in early March 2022 in the Figueroa/70th area, or has information that could help should contact law enforcement.
