Jody Hunt was 13 years old when authorities asked the public for help finding her in Colorado. Public notices described her as a young girl last seen on March 7, 2026, in the Denver area, and the case was connected to the Westminster Police Department’s search efforts. One online missing-persons report, citing a poster from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, said Jody had been missing since that date and that the circumstances of her disappearance had not been publicly
detailed. That same report listed her case under NCMEC reference number 2079769 and NCIC number M238873990, reflecting that her disappearance had been entered into national missing-person systems used to help law enforcement and the public share identifying information.
The Westminster Police Department provided the most specific public description of the search. According to the department, Jody was last seen leaving a home in the 9200 block of Irving Street. She was described as 5 feet tall and about 100 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Police also shared that she may have been wearing a red tank top and traveling with a black and pink backpack containing a computer. The department noted that Jody did not have a cell phone and that there were concerns for her well-being, details that added urgency to the public appeal because they suggested she may have been difficult to reach directly and vulnerable while away from home.
As the search unfolded, the public-facing information remained limited. Authorities did not publicly lay out a detailed timeline beyond the report that Jody had last been seen leaving the Irving Street home, and the publicly available notices did not provide a detailed explanation of where she may have gone afterward or what may have led to her disappearance. In missing-child cases like this, the absence of extensive public detail often means investigators are balancing the need for tips with the privacy and safety of a minor and her family. The available online information centered on identification, location last seen, possible clothing and belongings, and the request that anyone with information contact 911 or the Westminster Police Department.
The case later reached a reassuring resolution. The Westminster Police Department updated its missing-person notice to state that Jody had been safely located and thanked the public for its assistance. Because she was reported as safely located by law enforcement, this is no longer an active missing-person case based on the available public information. The exact details of when and where she was found, and the full circumstances surrounding her time missing, were not provided in the public update, so those parts of the story remain vague. In overview, Jody Hunt’s case began as an urgent search for a 13-year-old girl last seen in the Denver-area community of Westminster on March 7, 2026, with authorities concerned because she had no phone and limited publicly known means of contact; the appeal focused on finding her quickly and safely, and the case ultimately ended with police confirming that she had been safely located.Last Seen: Mar 7, 2026
