Genesis Gabriella Balch was 17 years old when she disappeared on March 31, 2026. She was last seen at her residence, and her guardian subsequently expressed concern that she may have traveled to Los Angeles, California, possibly to the Skid Row area.

On May 27, 2026, an individual known to Genesis reported they had been with her at Central Station in Los Angeles. According to the associate, they were returning to Ventura County, but Genesis wanted to go to the Skid Row area. This information provided investigators with an additional account of her possible movements after she was initially reported missing. Her current whereabouts remain unknown.

At the time of her disappearance, Genesis was approximately 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighed 120 pounds. She is described as a White/Caucasian female with black hair and brown eyes.

Anyone who has seen Genesis, particularly in the Central Station or Skid Row areas of Los Angeles, or who has information regarding her whereabouts is encouraged to contact the Ventura County Sheriff's Office Major Crimes Investigations Unit at (805) 383-8704.
