Her father noted that the girl's boyfriend in California has not heard from her either.
Her father said his daughter did not have her cellphone, she had her laptop and could have emailed him, like she has done in the past when she was without a phone. Moreci has a phone, but she had left it at home that day.
Einstein Middle School in the 5300 block of Michoud Boulevard, a charter school in the Village de l'Est area of New Orleans East confirmed the 7th grader was at school Thursday. Her father also said the school indicated she was seen boarding the Regional Transit Authority bus she routinely takes after school to Rampart and Canal streets, before walking to her father's work site in the Quarter, in the 900 block of St. Philip Street.
Her father, who works in construction, said surveillance video showed Moreci arrived at the St. Philip Street property and knocked on the gate, but he said he was at a gas station at that time. She usually got in the gate with a code, but the code had just been changed the previous day. Her father said he gave his daughter the new code, but it's possible she forgot the combination.
When Moreci was not able to get in the building, he thinks she decided to go for a walk. Several people said Moreci was seen "playing drums with some street performers". Moreci plays drums at school, he said.
In addition to the locations where the FBI said Moreci was spotted, her father has since received either video or reports that she was seen Thursday night turning onto Dumane Street, walking toward the Mississippi River; walking up to Bourbon Street; and walking in front of Walgreens on Royal Street in the direction of Esplanade.
Moreci is "very mature," her father said, adding it is an attribute her teachers have mentioned to him. She has lived in New Orleans three months, but was accustomed to meeting her father after school at the St. Philip Street property. Before moving to New Orleans, his daughter was living in California with his parents.
Her father has worked in the French Quarter for years, he said, and knows many of the people that work there. People who work in restaurants and bars in the Quarter know his daughter and keep an eye on her when she walks to his office.
