The search continues to intensify for 32-year-old Elise Ivy Bernstein, who has been missing since December 15, 2024. The Delray Beach Police Department has been combing through the area since the day she was last seen departing her residence at 200 Southeast 5th Avenue. As reported by CBS12, Elise is described as 5' 5" with dark brown hair, blue eyes, and donning a large flower tattoo on her right shoulder. At the time of her disappearance, she was wearing black leggings under a black skirt, a white tank top, paired with black sandals, and carrying a blue backpack.
Adding to the urgency of her case is the fact that Elise suffers from bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. The authorities expressed their concern as it's unclear if she's able to access her medication. In an appeal to public, officials are urging anyone with information on the whereabouts of Elise to come forward and contact the Delray Beach Police at (561)-243-7800. This is not the first instance of Elise disappearing; a prior incident occurred in 2020 when she went missing from Pembroke Pines, Florida.
Delving deeper into her history, Elise's case is currently registered with the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs), an information clearinghouse and resource center for missing, unidentified, and unclaimed person cases across the country. Her specific NamUs profile, under the identifier #MP135188, highlights the repeated nature of her disappearances.
