The Nevada County Sheriff’s deputies are seeking the assistance of the public in locating 16-year-old Trinity Backus, who walked away from her Nevada City home earlier this week.
On Wednesday, November 9 at around 10:30 p.m., Trinity Backus is reported to have walked away from a residence in the 18000 block of Kentucky Ravine Road.
According to foxnews.com, she was last seen wearing pajamas and a maroon robe.
Ashley Bjorklund, Backus’ aunt, said the 16-year-old “had no shoes on” and “was wearing socks pajama pants and a thin flannel [sic]” in a Thursday Facebook post.
Backus is described as 5 feet, 9 inches tall, weighing about 130 pounds. She has red hair and green eyes.
The sheriff’s office has received help from a number of local law enforcement offices, as well as the Nevada County Sheriff’s Search & Rescue, in its search for Backus.
On Thursday night, law enforcement officials deployed an airplane with infrared capabilities to conduct an aerial search for the teenager.
Authorities are asking anyone with information about her disappearance to contact 911 or the Nevada County Sheriff’s non-emergency dispatch center at 530-265-7880.
