She may be in the company of her father, 68-year-old Michael Moore.
Court documents show Michael Moore filed for divorce in December 2023, and that same month he petitioned for an injunction for protection against domestic violence against Rakhi Moore, the teen's mother.
Other documents reveal that Rahki Moore requested the court order Michael Moore to undergo mental health assessments, citing his alleged mental decompensation.

Most recently, Rahki Moore requested to suspend Michael Moore's contact with the teen, and it was granted. It gives Maya’s mother sole custody of the child and says her father is not to come within 500 feet of her.
An attorney representing Rahki Moore said in a statement that they're praying for the teen's safe return. Officials at American Heritage School couldn't comment on the situation Tuesday night.
The two may be traveling in the Homestead area in a 2019 gray Mitsubishi Outlander with a Florida tag number QUFS45.
Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to call the FDLE at 1-888-FL MISSING (1-888-356-4774) or the Plantation Police Department at 954-797-2100, or 911.
