California teen with history of mental health struggles vanishes during Denver layover on way home from treatment center

A California teen with a history of mental health struggles vanished during a layover in Colorado late last month.

Harper Cadman, 15, was last seen at Denver International Airport around 8:30 a.m. on Jan. 30, her mother, Ari Petronelli, wrote on Facebook .

Cadman — who was in the process of being transferred from treatment in Montana back to California — never made her connecting United Airlines flight, her desperate mother explained.

Her checked luggage made it to Los Angeles, but Cadman has not been heard from for nearly two weeks.

Authorities believe the teen may now be in the Denver or Boulder areas.

“My sister and I spent last week searching Denver and Boulder, speaking with detectives, advocates, the unhoused, and ‘street kids,’” Petronelli wrote.
