Summary based on 7 sources
Birehane Eshete Abate, a 36-year-old woman, was reported missing from Indianapolis, Indiana, on Sunday, June 23, 2019. She had only recently arrived in the United States from overseas on June 14, 2019, accompanying the family she worked for as a nanny. For nearly two years, she had been the caregiver for the family's children while they were abroad. The family had come to the States for a five-week period, and Birehane was scheduled to return with them on July 18, 2019. Just over a week after her arrival, she left on her day off and did not return as expected. Her last known location was in the Indianapolis, 46278 area. When she was last seen, she was wearing black jeans, had her head covered with a bandanna, and was carrying a gray purse.

At the time of her disappearance, Birehane Eshete Abate was described as a Black / African American female with brown eyes and black hair. She stood between 5 feet 3 inches and 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighed between 180 and 200 pounds. The circumstances surrounding her vanishing prompted concern, and a missing person report was created with the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System on June 26, 2019. The family she worked for initiated the report when she failed to come back from her day off. Her sudden absence was unusual, especially given her recent arrival in the country and her commitment to return overseas with the family.

The case of Birehane's disappearance has since been marked as resolved, though specific details regarding the resolution are not widely available, and the information remains vague. An overview of the case reflects a situation that began with uncertainty when a woman new to the country vanished under unclear circumstances. The timeline of events shows she disappeared shortly after arriving in Indianapolis for a temporary stay, leaving behind a concerned family and many unanswered questions.
