These Women Are Missing In Metro Atlanta

NORCROSS, GA -- As recent headlines continue to heighten awareness of the nation's missing women and girls, local law enforcement officials are looking for several women last seen in metro Atlanta.

Thousands of people go missing every year, but recent attention sparked on social media has garnered support for trying to find many of the girls, who are runaways.

In metro Atlanta, three women recently vanished in separate instances. Here are their stories:

Beatriz Espinoza

Among them is Beatriz Espinoza, a 25-year-old Norcross mother who disappeared Friday when it was discovered that she never showed up to her job as a dancer at a club on Chamblee-Tucker Road.

About 11 a.m. Saturday morning, police found Espinoza's little son walking alone alongside South Norcross-Tucker Road near a shopping center close to his home. Read more about Espinoza here.

Shirley Ngum Ngang

Thirty-five-year old Shirley Ngum Ngang flew into Atlanta on a layover in February and had to be rushed to Grady Hospital because of a medical emergency.

Ngang's vanished inside the hospital and apparently never went back to Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport to retrieve her luggage -- it's still there.

All that is known of Ngang, who had a flight from Miami to Houston, is that she was wearing glasses.

Brittany Stewart

In Rabun County, law enforcement is looking for a mother and her three children, who vanished Thursday.

No one knows the whereabouts of Brittany Stewart, 28, but she has been in contact with relatives, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Sheriff Chad Nichols said Monday that Stewart -- whose three children range in age from 7 months to 7 years old -- was actually spotted in Habersham County on Sunday.

"She was seen and talked to at that store in Hollywood yesterday," Nichols said, according to Accesswdun.com. "But we still haven't been able to locate her. We just want to see her and talk with her ourselves."

Concern in the nation's capital has skyrocketed after recent social media posts that said that several black girls had vanished in the past two weeks. With the increased scrutiny, it was found that missing child cases in D.C. actually dropped from 2,433 in 2015 to 2,242 last year.
