DENVER (KDVR) — The search continues for a missing Denver woman who hasn’t been seen or heard from in nearly a month.
Friends, family and even strangers to 34-year-old Jax Gratton searched Sloan’s Lake on Saturday, passing out flyers, searching hard-to-reach areas with park rangers to look for any clues on her disappearance.
“We had some sort of documentation to know when her last interaction was at home, but we’re not quite sure where she’s gone since then,” said searcher Brother Ken Unity Keeper. “We’re just looking in the general areas that we think she may have been visiting, where she hung out or congregated and I think right now this is our most centralized location we want to start at and then we will continue to branch out if we aren’t able to get some more information.”
Gratton was last seen on April 15 around 10 p.m. in the 4200 block of East Iliff Avenue and was officially reported missing to police on April 24. Gratton’s mother told FOX31 that her daughter is heavily involved in the community and owns her own hair salon, Jax Gratton Studio, which is based out of a suite on North Broadway.
“Her family and her friends have been tirelessly searching almost every option we could possibly think of or find. We are just trying to get out here as much as we can with as many people as we can to support and help find Jax,” said searcher Cyrus LaRosche. “It is really amazing to see how many complete strangers one person has brought together.”
Police told FOX31 that they are investigating “in accordance with normal protocol and have been in communication with Gratton’s family.” She’s described as a white female with red hair (naturally blonde hair) and blue eyes. She’s about 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighs about 150 pounds.
“If you are with somebody and they are keeping you, keep fighting. If you have left us on this earth, we’re still trying to find you,” said Brother Ken Unity Keeper. “I have hope, and this is what is going to drive this fight to find her… is hope. There is not anything at this point that would clearly give us a reason to not believe so. That is where we continue to keep our heart and our mind is the hope that we find her.”
Anyone with information is asked to call the Denver Police Department immediately at 720-913-2000. The case number for her disappearance is 25-5001497.
The Denver Police Department is also continuing to search for Gratton.
DPD’s Missing and Exploited Persons Unit is working with Gratton’s family on the case.
“At this time, nothing has been recovered that indicates she has been harmed, however, her disappearance is being taken seriously by DPD,” a department spokesperson wrote.
The department is encouraging people to call 720-913-7867 if they have information about where Gratton is.
