Esmeralda Monique Leyva, a 15-year-old girl, was last seen on May 22, 2019, in Los Angeles, California. On the day of her disappearance, she left for school but never returned home. Prior to this incident, she had run away once before while living in Las Vegas, Nevada, although her parents expressed that they had a good relationship with her and were unsure why she would run away again.
At the time she went missing, Esmeralda was described as being 5'4" tall, weighing around 150 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.
Her disappearance remains a mystery, and authorities have been appealing to the public for any information that could lead to locating her. While it is classified as a missing person's case, and there is no confirmed evidence of foul play, her family and law enforcement continue to search for answers. Her case has been included in various missing person databases, but no substantial developments have emerged as of now.
Given her history of running away, authorities initially treated the case with the possibility that she may have left voluntarily. However, the lack of communication since then has raised concerns about her safety, and efforts to find her have continued without major breakthroughs.Last Seen: May 22, 2019
