A missing child case out of San Antonio has stretched well past a year, and authorities are still asking the public for help finding 7-year-old Mia Moore.
The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office says Mia was last seen in March 2025. Her father reported that he had not seen her since that time.
Mia stands between 4 feet 3 inches and 4 feet 6 inches tall, weighs around 50 pounds, and has brown hair and brown eyes.
According to BCSO, Mia was pulled from her school in August and was later confirmed to be enrolled in an online learning program instead.
That detail has become a key part of the investigation, since it suggests Mia may have been kept out of public view deliberately rather than simply lost or missing on her own.
Arrest Warrant Issued for Mia’s Mother
Investigators have also issued an arrest warrant for Mia’s mother, Elena Gonzales. The warrant stems from allegations that Gonzales interfered with an ongoing custody dispute involving Mia.
Authorities have not said publicly whether they believe Gonzales and Mia are currently together, but the timing of the warrant, paired with the months-long gap since anyone outside the family reported seeing the child, has intensified the search.
Cases like this one often move differently than a typical stranger abduction. When a parent or guardian is suspected of keeping a child hidden during a custody battle, investigators have to balance two goals at once.
They want to locate the child safely, and they also have to build a case that holds up if the matter becomes a criminal one. That can slow down public updates even while detectives keep working behind the scenes.
Several organizations that track missing persons cases nationally, including groups affiliated with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, have continued to share Mia’s case on social media as the months have passed.
Advocates say that keeping a case visible, even long after the initial disappearance, matters.
Leads can come from unexpected places, including former neighbors, coworkers of a parent, or someone who simply recognizes a name or a face from a shared post.
Community members responding to recent posts about Mia have expressed concern and hope in equal measure, with many saying they are praying for her safe return.
Local advocacy groups have echoed that the public’s attention can still make a difference, even a year out from when Mia was last confirmed seen.
Anyone with information about Mia Moore’s whereabouts, or about Elena Gonzales, is asked to contact the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office at 210-335-6000.
Tips can also be directed to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 1-800-843-5678. The case is referenced under NCMEC Case number 2061210.
Authorities have not released additional details about the custody dispute or where Gonzales and Mia may have gone after Mia was withdrawn from school.
As is standard in cases involving family interference, officials are limiting what they share publicly while the search continues, in hopes that doing so protects both the investigation and the child.
For now, the message from BCSO and missing persons advocates remains the same: share Mia’s information, stay alert, and report anything that seems relevant, no matter how small it might seem.
