Blanca Estela Escalante-Reyes was 16 years old when she was last reported seen in Maryville, Tennessee, on July 14, 2017. She was a female teenager from Blount County whose disappearance was documented through NamUs as missing person case MP92553, with the Blount County Sheriff’s Office listed as the investigating agency. At the time she was reported missing, Blanca was described as Hispanic / Latino, with black hair and black eyes.
Her listed height ranged from approximately 4 feet 10 inches to 5 feet 3 inches, and her weight was recorded between 90 and 115 pounds. The report placed her last known location in Maryville, Tennessee, in the 37804 area.
The circumstances publicly available in the case were limited, but the official case information stated that, according to Blanca’s mother, it was believed Blanca may have been in Virginia with her sister. That detail shaped the early understanding of the case, suggesting investigators and family were looking not only at Maryville and Blount County, but also at the possibility that Blanca had traveled or been staying outside Tennessee. Because Blanca was a minor at the time, her disappearance would have carried added urgency for her family and for law enforcement, even with the possibility that she might have been with a relative. Public missing person information did not describe the clothing she was last seen wearing, a vehicle, or any known medical concerns, and no detailed public timeline beyond the July 14, 2017 date was available.
The Blount County Sheriff’s Office was listed as the primary agency responsible for the case, with the agency report date also recorded as July 14, 2017. The case was associated with agency case number S17033976, and public records identified the agency’s Maryville office on East Lamar Alexander Parkway as the point of contact. Over time, Blanca’s case appeared in public missing-person listings and regional missing-person awareness resources, where the essential details remained consistent: a 16-year-old girl missing from Maryville, Tennessee, with a possible connection to Virginia through her sister.
Official records indicate that Blanca Escalante-Reyes was found alive, and the case is no longer an active missing persons case. The exact date she was located was not included in the public information reviewed, so no specific recovery date can be stated. In overview, Blanca’s case began as the report of a missing 16-year-old girl from Maryville on July 14, 2017, with investigators noting a possible lead that she may have been in Virginia with her sister; the case was handled by the Blount County Sheriff’s Office and was ultimately resolved with Blanca being found alive.Last Seen: Jul 14, 2017
