CARROLLTON, Ga. — Nearly three months after 16-year-old Marykarla Loscos disappeared from Carrollton, investigators and family members are continuing their search for answers, urging the public to come forward with information that could help locate the missing teenager.
Marykarla Loscos was last seen Dec. 17, 2025, in Carrollton, Georgia, according to records from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. Authorities say the teen’s disappearance has been entered into national missing-person databases as the search continues.
Who is Marykarla Loscos
Marykarla Loscos is described as a 16-year-old female who was last seen in the Carrollton area of Carroll County, roughly 45 miles west of Atlanta.

What happened
Authorities say Loscos disappeared on Dec. 17, though details about the circumstances surrounding her disappearance remain limited. Law-enforcement agencies have not publicly confirmed whether investigators believe the teen left voluntarily, may be endangered, or could be the victim of foul play.
Cases involving missing teenagers can be complex. In some instances, investigators initially classify them as runaway cases, but authorities typically continue pursuing leads and monitoring tips until the child is located.
The investigation
The case remains active with assistance from the Carrollton Police Department, which is listed as the investigating agency in the national database.
