However, Texas EquuSearch said she has a scoliosis surgical scar on her neck and back.

"The scoliosis has left her left scapula higher than right," they wrote in a statement.

Officials also said Kirby has several distinctive tattoos that may help people identify her.

The words "Hakuna Matata" are tattooed on the right side of Kirby's body, though an exact placement is unclear.

She also has a Capricorn zodiac symbol tattooed on her left rib, a peace symbol on the top of her right foot, the letters "XOXO" on her left forearm near her wrist, and cherries near her pelvic area.

Anyone who may have seen Kirby is urged to call the Houston Police Department at 713-308-3600 Texas EquuSearch at 281-309-9500.
