She was last captured on camera at approximately 3:20 am on Sunday while she was walking back home from Bronco’s Bar located in downtown La Crosse, Wisconsin, near the state’s border with Minnesota.

Eliotte was heading home to her apartment, which is about a 30-minute walk from the bar, her family said.

Police released the last-known picture of Eliotte, a grad student at Viterbo University, walking in a white T-shirt and jean shorts.

In the image, she appears to be holding her phone out in front of her.

Eliotte still hasn’t been found as of Wednesday.

Her family is desperate for answers, sharing the surveillance image of her and hanging up missing persons posters around the city.

“Sunday morning, we tried to reach her, and we were unable to get a hold of her,” Eliotte’s mom, Amber Heinz, told Fox News Digital

“We talk all the time. We talked to her that week.

“We were texting back and forth, but on Sunday morning when we couldn’t get a hold of her, we knew that something was going on.”

Her family asked anyone in the La Crosse area to check their home security camera footage from Sunday between 2 and 6 am.

“We ask that if you have seen anything — even if it’s small, anything at all, that you please call the La Crosse Police Department,” Amber said.

“If you have Ring cameras and you think that you might have captured an image of Eliotte, please call them, let them take a look at your footage.

“Even if you don’t think it’s a big deal, it might be something that’s a really big deal for her.”

Eliotte is studying mental health counseling at Viterbo University, her mom said.
