The Colorado Bureau of Investigation canceled its Missing Indigenous Person Alert after the girl was safely located.
A 16-year-old girl who had been reported missing from Towaoc has been safely located, according to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, which canceled the Missing Indigenous Person Alert issued for her.
The Cortez Police Department shared the alert on its Crimewatch page on Monday, Sept. 28, and asked for the public’s help finding her. She had last been seen Friday, Sept. 25, in Towaoc.
This story first ran Tuesday, Sept. 29, while the search was under way. Cortez Current normally does not publish the names or photographs of children. We made an exception while authorities were asking for help finding her, and have removed her name and photograph now that she has been found.
