A family in Opelousas, Louisiana is living every parent’s worst nightmare — and they need your help.
Mariah Tieuel, a 13-year-old girl, has been reported missing, and authorities are urgently asking the public to assist in locating her. As time passes, concern for her safety continues to grow. Every moment matters, and every share could make the difference in bringing her home safely.
Mariah is just a young girl with a whole life ahead of her. She is described as approximately 5 feet tall, weighing around 100 pounds. She has hazel eyes and shoulder-length brown curly hair — features that should make her recognizable to anyone who may have seen her recently. But right now, she is missing, and her loved ones are desperately searching for answers.
At the time she was last seen, Mariah was wearing an anime-style hoodie with Japanese characters in red, black, and orange, paired with blue jeans. She is also known to wear jewelry on her arms and fingers. These small details may seem ordinary, but they could be crucial in identifying her and helping bring her back to safety.
Imagine how scared she might be. Imagine how her family feels right now — waiting, hoping, and praying for any news. No family should have to go through this alone, and that’s why your help is so important.

The Opelousas Police Department is actively investigating her disappearance, but they cannot do it alone. Community awareness is one of the most powerful tools in situations like this. The more people who know Mariah’s face, her description, and her story, the higher the chances that someone, somewhere, will recognize something important.
