Sixteen-year-old Laura G. Hernandez-Orellana disappeared from Huntingburg, Indiana, on August 19, 2019, after being released from Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody into the care of a family member. She had crossed the southern border earlier that summer from El Salvador and was described as 5 feet 4 inches tall, about 130 to 140 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

Authorities initially treated the case as a runaway. Investigators believed she might have been trying to join a boyfriend who was thought to be in Ohio, but that lead produced no definitive answers. The Huntingburg Police Department opened an investigation under case number HPD19080303 and entered her information into national missing-person databases; the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children was also notified. As of August 2020 there had been no significant contact or confirmed sightings.

Does anyone have information about Laura’s movements after August 19, 2019, or recall seeing her in Indiana or Ohio around that time?
