The New Orleans Police Department is urgently seeking information on the whereabouts of a family of four who disappeared after embarking on a journey from New Orleans to Houston two months ago.

According to Louisiana police, 27-year-old mother Steys Yanira David-Funez, her 31-year-old husband Ramon Ruiz Crisanto, and their two daughters, 4-year-old Jazzlyn Esther Ruiz David and 1-year-old Dara Ismeray Ruiz David, have not been heard from since they left New Orleans.

The family’s disappearance was reported by David-Funez’s father, who drove them to the Greyhound bus station at 1001 Loyola Ave. in New Orleans on November 30, 2023. They informed him they were relocating to Houston, and he received a text message later that day confirming their arrival at their destination.

However, concerns arose when David-Funez’s father attempted to contact his daughter the following week but received no response. Further inquiries with relatives in Texas revealed that the family never reached their intended destination.

Despite multiple attempts to reach out to the family, they remain unreachable, leaving authorities and loved ones increasingly worried. As of Monday, it has been 67 days since the family departed New Orleans.

The missing family members are of Hispanic descent, and police have issued photos of them to aid in their search.

Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Steys Yanira David-Funez, Ramon Ruiz Crisanto, and their two daughters is urged to contact the New Orleans Police Department’s Sixth District detectives at 504-658-6060.

In a groundbreaking trial, a Michigan jury found Jennifer Crumbley guilty of involuntary manslaughter on Tuesday for her role in the 2021 Oxford High School shooting that claimed the lives of four students. Prosecutors argued that Crumbley failed to secure the gun used by her 15-year-old son, Ethan Crumbley, and neglected his mental health needs.

The verdict, returned after approximately 11 hours of deliberation, held Crumbley accountable for each student’s death. The courtroom atmosphere was tense as the verdict was read, with Crumbley visibly shaken by the outcome.

As the jurors were polled, Crumbley, 45, looked down and shook her head slightly. Oakland County Judge Cheryl Matthews acknowledged the difficulty of the decision, thanking the jurors for their service.

Prosecutor Karen McDonald received heartfelt gratitude from the families of the victims as she left the courtroom. However, a gag order imposed by the judge prevented both McDonald and defense attorney Shannon Smith from commenting on the case to the press.

The trial revealed critical lapses in parental responsibility leading up to the tragedy. Despite school concerns over Ethan’s violent drawing and distressing statements, his parents failed to remove him from the premises. Hours later, he opened fire in the school, causing devastating casualties.

Assistant prosecutor Marc Keast underscored Jennifer Crumbley’s pivotal role in enabling the shooting, emphasizing her direct involvement in firearm activities with her son and her awareness of his proficiency with the weapon.

Ethan Crumbley, now serving a life sentence after pleading guilty, penned disturbing entries in his journal, lamenting his parents’ dismissal of his mental health struggles. Jennifer Crumbley asserted her trust in her son and denied observing any signs of distress.

The jury’s verdict marks a significant moment in legal history, as Jennifer and her husband James Crumbley become the first parents in the U.S. charged in connection with a mass school shooting perpetrated by their child. James Crumbley’s trial is scheduled for March.

Jennifer Crumbley faces sentencing on April 9, with her roughly 2 1/2 years in county jail to be credited. However, the Michigan parole board will ultimately determine her prison term, with involuntary manslaughter carrying a maximum sentence of 15 years.
