Baltimore County police asked for help finding 25-year-old Luna Belai, who was last seen about 9:30 a.m. July 15 in Catonsville’s Maiden Choice area. She is 5-foot-6 and about 180 pounds, and police said she was wearing pink sweatpants and carrying a black Guess purse with a gold strap. Anyone with a sighting or tip was urged to call 410-887-1340.

Belai left home without a working phone, which made the first hours after her disappearance especially difficult to track. She had a history of depression, and family members said her trip to nearby stores was not unusual for her, but she never came back. They said her absence was out of character and that they knew of no illegal drug use, arguments or other signs that would explain why she did not return.

The area around Maiden Choice sits on some of the main corridors that connect Catonsville and west Baltimore. Frederick Road and Edmondson Avenue tie into the old #8 Streetcar Path, a 1/3-mile paved trail that runs from the 1600 block of Frederick Road to the Catonsville Junction Business District in the 1600 block of Edmondson Avenue. Route 40, the Baltimore National Pike, also cuts through Catonsville, and Interstate 695 meets it at Westview, putting the neighborhood on a heavily traveled edge of the county.

A police report was filed, and Ofc. Crosby was assigned to the case. Baltimore County also listed additional tip numbers, 410-887-3943 and 410-887-4636, and said callers could remain anonymous.
