18-Year-Old Violet Missing in Denver — Mother Pleads for Urgent Help Before It’s Too Late
DENVER, COLORADO — A desperate search is underway for 18-year-old Violet, who has been missing since October 19 after disappearing near Denver Union Station. Her mother says this is not a simple runaway case — it’s a race against time to save her daughter’s life.
Authorities confirmed Violet’s case number as #25-571462 and listed her as missing and endangered due to serious health complications from anorexia nervosa. Family members say her condition has reached a critical stage and that her body could shut down without warning if she isn’t found soon.
Violet’s Description and Last Known Location
Violet is described as 5’1” tall, with long brown wavy hair reaching her waist and bluish-hazel eyes. She was last seen wearing all black with pink lettering, a light pink North Face cap, pink running shoes, and carrying a khaki backpack with pink key rings.
Investigators believe Violet may be traveling with a 19-year-old white male named Isaiah, who has curly blonde hair and was last seen wearing a black hoodie and sweatpants, a gray sweater, and carrying a green backpack.
Both reportedly discarded their phones, making tracking efforts extremely difficult.
Violet was last spotted around 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, October 19, near Denver Union Station. Authorities suspect the pair may be hitchhiking or traveling by train toward California.
A Mother’s Plea: ‘We’re Running Out of Time’
Family members describe Violet’s disappearance as every parent’s worst nightmare. Her mother, whose name has not been released publicly, says she is “racing to find her daughter before death does.”
“This isn’t just about a missing person,” she said in a plea shared online. “My daughter is sick. She’s vulnerable. She’s slipping away, and I need help finding her before it’s too late.”
How You Can Help
Anyone who sees Violet or Isaiah is urged to call 911 immediately. Officials emphasize that the situation is life-threatening and that every minute counts.
Search teams, volunteers, and mental health advocates have joined efforts under the hashtags #FindViolet, #MissingAndEndangered, and #HelpFindHer to spread awareness nationwide.
Authorities are asking the public to check security footage, train stations, rest areas, and hotels for any possible sightings.
Mental Health Crisis and Call for Awareness
Experts say Violet’s case highlights the dangers of eating disorders and the urgent need for mental health support among young adults. Anorexia nervosa, if left untreated, can cause heart failure and organ collapse, particularly in individuals who go without medical care for extended periods.
“This is a real girl in real danger,” one advocate said. “If you spot her, that single call could save her life.”
Anyone with credible information can contact the Denver Police Department or submit a tip anonymously through Crime Stoppers.
