Margret Sharon Ryan, a 16-year-old white female, was reported missing from her home in Morgan City, Louisiana, in late February 2026. She was last seen at approximately 11:00 p.m. on February 23 in the area of Garber Street. At five feet one inch tall and around 100 pounds, with blue eyes, her family and local authorities were concerned for her welfare. At the time she was last seen, Margret was wearing a black crop top, black jogging pants, and black and white shoes.
She may have also been wearing a gray hoodie.
The Morgan City Police Department launched an investigation into her disappearance, classifying her case as that of a runaway juvenile. As detectives began following up on leads, they developed a theory that Margret may have traveled to the New Iberia, Louisiana area. This information widened the scope of the search and focused attention on the neighboring city.
Investigators also received information suggesting that Margret might have altered her physical appearance in an effort to avoid being located by law enforcement. Authorities believed she may have colored her hair blonde, which made the task of identifying her more challenging for both the public and police. The Morgan City Police Department continued to actively investigate, urging anyone with information on her whereabouts to come forward.
