Eriel Lynette Mack-Mariscal was an infant when she was last confirmed in New Orleans in late July 2019. She is described as White, with brown hair and brown eyes, about 2 feet to 2 feet 6 inches tall and 16 to 20 pounds around the time she disappeared; records also note a prior fracture of her left upper arm.

Eriel was born in Reno, Nevada, in 2018 and had relocated to New Orleans with a relative who obtained guardianship through Washoe County Family Court in 2018. That guardian reportedly died in 2020, and later inquiries found the guardian and family members unable to account for Eriel’s whereabouts. The child was officially reported missing after Washoe County’s investigation and related efforts, with a missing report filed in December 2021 and public appeals renewed by the New Orleans Police Department in May 2024.

There are unverified leads and at least one claimed sighting in May 2020 that authorities could not confirm; a person said to have last seen Eriel is now deceased. Did anyone in New Orleans or Reno have contact with Eriel or the guardian in 2019–2020 and can help fill the gap?
