“We urge anyone who might have noticed something — no matter how minor — to reach out to the La Crosse Police Department,” her mother, Amber Heinz, requested on Monday, as mentioned in a report by FOX 11.

“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.”

Heinz’s brother added that her disappearance caught the family by surprise, as she is typically a “responsible person.”

“Everyone is just really messed up right now. We don’t know where Eliotte is. We need to find her. It’s tearing our family apart right now,” he said, according to News 8 Now.

Heinz is described as a white female who stands 5-feet-4-inches tall and weighs around 120 pounds. She has blonde hair, blue eyes, and was last seen in a white shirt abnd denim shorts.
