TEXAS GIRL, 14, VANISHES THREE YEARS AFTER BROTHER’S DEATH AS HEARTBROKEN FAMILY BEGS: “WE JUST WANT HER FOUND SAFE”

CONROE, Texas — A Texas family is desperately searching for a missing 14-year-old girl who vanished from a relative’s home days ago, leaving her loved ones increasingly worried after she stopped communicating with them.

Olivia “Reese” Arvidson-Tolar was last seen Sunday night, Aug. 23, at a family member’s residence in the April Sound area of Conroe, according to police.

Authorities said Olivia was last seen between approximately 10 and 11 p.m. Her family realized she was missing around 2 a.m. Monday, Aug. 24.

Investigators believe she may have returned to the Klein or Spring area, but her whereabouts remain unknown.

FAMILY SAYS THIS DISAPPEARANCE IS DIFFERENT

Olivia’s aunt, Kelly Tolar, told KHOU that the family is extremely concerned because the teenager has never stayed away this long without contacting anyone.

Tolar said Olivia had previously left home without permission, but those incidents typically lasted only about an hour before the family located her.

This time, however, there has been no contact.

“We want her to know that we love her. She’s not in trouble,” Tolar told the station. “We just wanna know she’s OK and get her home where she belongs.”

The family described Olivia as a “sweet little girl” with a distinctive personality. She enjoys skateboarding and grunge music, according to her aunt.

FAMILY FEARS FOR HER WELL-BEING

One of the most concerning details for Olivia’s loved ones is that her phone is now turned off or appears to be dead.

Her family also says she does not have her medication with her.

Tolar said Olivia has struggled emotionally since the death of her older brother, who was 22 when he died in a car crash in 2023.

The loss reportedly had a significant impact on Olivia, and her family has become increasingly concerned about her well-being since his death.

Her relatives are now pleading with her to come home.

WHAT OLIVIA WAS WEARING

According to the Conroe Police Department, Olivia is a student at Klein Oak High School.

At the time she was last seen, authorities said she was wearing:

• A black sweatshirt
• Black-and-red pajama pants
• Pink slippers

Police have asked anyone who may have seen Olivia or has information about where she could be to contact authorities.

POLICE LAUNCH SEARCH

The Conroe Police Department publicly announced the missing-person investigation on Aug. 26.

Authorities believe Olivia may have traveled back toward the Klein or Spring areas, but investigators have not publicly released additional details about a possible destination or why she may have left.

As the search continues, police and her family are asking the public to remain alert and report any potentially relevant information.

Anyone who knows where Olivia may be is urged to call the Conroe Police Department at 936-522-3200 or 911.

“WE JUST WANT HER FOUND SAFE”

For Olivia’s family, the search is about more than finding out where she went.

They want to know that the teenager is safe.

Her aunt’s message to Olivia is simple: she is loved, she is not in trouble, and her family wants her home.

“We just want her found safe,” Tolar said.

As investigators work to determine Olivia’s whereabouts, every hour matters to a family already carrying the pain of losing another child.

Three years after the death of her older brother, 14-year-old Olivia “Reese” Arvidson-Tolar has disappeared. Her phone is off, she does not have her medication with her, and her family says she has never gone this long without contacting anyone. Now, they are asking anyone with information to help bring her home safely.
