At the time she went missing, the American Indian / Alaska Native teenager was described as being 5 feet 1 inch tall and weighing approximately 115 pounds, with brown hair and black eyes. The last time she was seen, she was wearing a dark red snuggy. Her sudden absence prompted an investigation by the Alaska State Troopers.
