Cristela Zavala was 17 when she left her Gretna, Louisiana home in the spring of 2016 after an argument with her father and did not return. She is described as Hispanic, brown hair, brown eyes, about five feet three inches tall and between 150 and 180 pounds. Cristela reportedly told family she wanted to return to Guatemala before she left. The Gretna Police Department opened a missing person investigation (agency case I-62409-16; NamUs MP74540), but public information about the case has been minimal since her disappearance.

If anyone saw Cristela in spring 2016 or has information about her travel or whereabouts, please share what is known.
