Who is Marisia Burton? Family raises trafficking concern over missing 19-year-old girl 

Marisia Burton, a 19-year-old Walt Disney World Resort cast member from Orlando, has been reported missing since December 22, 2022. Reports suggest that she was last seen at Disney’s employee housing in Flamingo Crossings East in Winter Garden, Florida.

As the news of her disappearance came to light, one of Burton’s co-workers allegedly claimed that the teen told her sister she would rather quit the internship program than get terminated for missing a day of work.

Although the information has not been verified, Burton’s fellow Disney College Program interns (CPs) took to social media to share that missing a day of work at the Disney College Program without a valid excuse may result in an employee’s termination.

One Reddit user also shared that other CPs started enquiring about Burton the moment her missing report was made available to the public.

“My daughter is a CP. She was there for a year in 2019 and she’s been there almost a year this time," the user said. "She called me as soon as she saw the flyer. The CPs in the group started asking questions to try and get as much info as possible in order to help. That’s when people started noticing some issues with the story.”

They also mentioned that the circumstances of Marisia Burton’s disappearance were odd:

“It’s just odd that none of this young lady’s coworkers, roommates, or leaders have said anything. They said she worked at Caribbean Beach in quick service, but the costume she’s wearing in the photo being shared is from Hollywood Studios.”

More recently, Burton’s family have shared possible concerns about human trafficking after she allegedly showed up at a Houston police station with an unknown man and asked officials to take her name off the missing person’s list.

Marisia Burton’s aunt took to social media to share that her niece was seen at the police station with a “weird man” who allegedly asked Burton to “get here asap!” The aunt also claimed that she believed her niece was being trafficked to Mexico:

“She is being trafficked! Everybody who can get to 2202 St. Emanuel Houston, Texas to stop this man from taking her [sic]. If he leaves with her she’ll be in Mexico!”

Burton’s family is asking for the public's help to gather information on Burton’s whereabouts. They will be receiving tips on the email bringmarisiahome@gmail./com and are also asking people to contact the Orange County Sheriff’s Department at their provided contact number.
