New Orleans PD desperately searching for a missing child, Kristhal Chiinchills-Canizales, just 14. Kristhal is 5’2”, has black hair with blonde tips, and brown eyes. Last seen wearing a blue yoga jumpsuit with a black Harley pullover layered on top.
Louisiana’s Orleans Parish Department of Children and Family Services plans a day trip for foster children to a New Orleans Museum, May 22nd. Kristhal, enjoys the day out with her friends, smiling, and making silly faces for a group photo, but later, during a headcount, DCFS agents realize Kristhal is gone. No child or adult knows when Kristhal disappeared.
New Orleans PD canvass the museum’s campus and surrounding city blocks, but no sign of the teen. Investigators now say they fear Kristhal has been trafficked for sex. NOPD has not yet released information explaining the theory, but trafficking is not uncommon in the city, with 1500 new trafficking cases reported in 2023.
New Orleans PD will not confirm from which museum Kristhal disappeared, but have confirmed she was last seen in the Central Business District, a neighborhood that spans approximately 12 blocks, bordered by I-10 and the mighty Mississippi river.
