Description and search efforts
Authorities described Mint as 5'0 tall, weighing 100 lbs., with brown/reddish curly hair and pierced brows. Mint was reportedly dressed in a black sweatshirt, flannel pajama pants, and black boots, and she may have been carrying a gray suitcase. Deputy K. Walther of the Marin County Sheriff's Office stated that Mint is believed to have fled to the San Francisco area.
Despite efforts to locate Mint, the Marin County Sheriff's Office did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for information on the case. However, Sgt. Adam Schermerhorn told the San Francisco Chronicle that they are working with San Francisco Police Department detectives to locate the teen.
Concerns have been raised about Mint's safety, particularly given their history of substance abuse and previous sightings in the Tenderloin area, which is approximately 30 miles from Bolinas.
