SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — Mint Butterfield, 16, has been missing in the San Francisco Bay Area for five days and deputies are asking for the public’s help to find the teen.
Mint is considered a “voluntary missing person” who is “at-risk,” the Marin County Sheriff’s Office said. Mint’s father is Stewart Butterfield, a billionaire businessman and former CEO of Slack.
The teenager was last seen at 10 p.m. on April 21 inside a house in Bolinas where the teen lives with their mother. Around 9 a.m. on April 22, Caterina Fake discovered that her child was missing and called 911.
“Fake realized that Mint was not at home and discovered a note indicating that Mint had left the residence, with a suitcase, at an unknown time during the night or early morning. It is unclear how Mint left the area, as they did not have access to a vehicle or phone,” the Sheriff’s Office wrote.
Fake told investigators that Mint may have gone to the Tenderloin neighborhood of San Francisco.
“At this time, we have no information to believe that Mint was taken against their will,” the Sheriff’s Office wrote.
