My little sister has been out of contact with her family for over six months. The last time I heard her voice was a phone call on November 1, 2025. The last text she sent me was on November 3. I am very, very worried.
I’m Ellie Hart. I’m 28. Lacey is 24. She lives in Austin, Texas. She is a creator — she ran her own photography page, did boudoir-style sets and short vlogs, and built a small community of subscribers over three years. Whether or not you knew that part of her life, all I am asking is that if you knew Lacey at all — from college, from her old retail job, from her shoots, from the gym, from anywhere — and you have seen her or spoken to her since November 4, 2025, please email me.
Our family has spoken to APD. We have a case number. We have done what people tell you to do. Lacey is an adult, she did not leave a note, and the people she worked with say she just took some time off. The police have been kind but they don’t have anything to act on. So I built this site, because thirty-thousand people watched my sister for three years and some of you may know things about her last weeks that I don’t.

What this site is
A public appeal. I am not a journalist. I am not a private investigator. Lacey hand-coded a portfolio template in 2023 and I am editing it. The pages from the top nav are everything I have collected, in the order I think makes sense:
- About Lacey — who she is, our family, what she actually did for work.
- Timeline — the last 90 days of her life as best I can reconstruct it from her texts, calendar, and posts.
- Last Posts — her final dozen public posts, with a search box at the bottom for subscribers who remember things I don’t.
- Subscribers — DMs and emails subscribers forwarded me after I put up this site.
- The Agency — about her management company, who I’ve been in contact with.
- How To Help — exactly what I’m asking for, and what I’m not.
- Contact — my email and a tips form.
The last thing she sent me
Lacey and I texted at minimum twice a day for six years. The longest she had ever gone without messaging me was four days, in 2023, when she did a no-phone retreat in Big Sur.
On November 3, 2025, at 8:14 PM, she sent me:
“mtg with the agency tmrw morning. i think im gonna be done w them. love u el call u after.”
She did not call me after. She has not messaged me, our mom, or her best friend Priya since. 188 days is not Lacey.
Please do not subscribe to her page “to support the family.” Lacey is not on the platform to receive that money. If you want to help, the help page tells you how.
