Maybe that's the red-herring. The missing girl could be Eloise Gardener aka the Witch. Maybe it has nothing to do with Hook's daughter. I do think the spoilers for 7x11 in particular point to the Witch being Eloise if we set aside the other assumptions for now. Emma and Bex were on set at the same time when we knew a Kelly/Eloise scene was being filmed. That seems cut and dry.

But the witch doesn't have a cursed identity, so she'd either get cursed in an upcoming episode to believe she's now "Eloise Gardener" or she chooses that name as the one she's masquerading under while in HH. I think this could also work if the witch wants to throw Rogers' off. If he comes across the Witch as Eloise and realizes she's not someone special to him, he might stop digging.
