A 14-year-old Indigenous girl was last seen at 6 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 23 wearing gray sweatpants and a black tee shirt near Walmart in Cortez.
Her name is Peaches Peabody.
She’s 5 feet 4 inches tall and 215 pounds. Peabody has shoulder length black hair and piercings on her lip and nose.
Peabody’s grandmother first made the call to the Cortez Police Department about 11 p.m. Monday after she didn’t come home from school.
Peabody is a student at Southwest Open High School.
She was supposed to ride the bus home with her sister on Monday, but told her that she was going to stay after school for tutoring.
She was seen in a white sedan with an unknown license plate with an unknown male, according to the police report.
Her grandmother told police the male driving the car was a heavyset Indigenous male, possibly in his 20s. He has curly, bleach blonde hair and the white car had no tint on the windows.
Peabody reportedly Snapchatted a photo that she was planning to go to the Durango area with that male.
Her phone has been turned off since 6:40 p.m. At that time, it showed her 4 miles east of Mancos.
If you see her or have any information related to her disappearance, call 911 or the Cortez Police Department at 970-565-8441.
