Distinguishing Characteristics:
Distinguishing Characteristics Native American female. Brown hair, hazel eyes. Eagleshield’s nickname is Mitz and her maiden name is Anderson. She has previously broken her right arm, her right wrist and both ankles. She has a cigarette burn scar on her right shin, a Cesarean section scar on her abdomen, a small scar on the middle of her forehead and on a scar on her left eyebrow, and at the time of her disappearance she had a wound on her head that had been closed with surgical staples. Eagleshield has the following tattoos: a unicorn with the letters “DS” on her right shoulder blade, a smoking gun on her left forearm and an unspecified tattoo on her left leg. She has moles on her left buttock, the left side of her collarbone, the right side of her neck, and the left side of her abdomen, and a strawberry birthmark on the back of her neck near the headline.
Details of Disappearance:
Eagleshield disappeared in the early morning of October 5, 2014, from a friend’s house near Island Lake in rural Minnesota. She left between 3 and 5 a.m., leaving everything behind – even her shoes and purse. No one has heard from her since. She didn’t have a cell phone, and her credit cards haven’t been used.

Dogs followed her scent for about a mile through the swampy area near the house, but lost it at a beaver dam. Because she sometimes accepted rides from strangers, police think she might have gotten a ride from someone. The mystery of what happened to her remains unsolved.
