The Juneau Police Department is seeking information about the whereabouts of 17 year old Trinity Hale. Hale was reported as a runaway in March of 2016. A Juneau Police Department officer returned her to her home a day later and she ran away again. Since March 13th, 2016, she has contacted adults responsible for her care twice. Hale called an adult on March 16, 2016, and again May 5, 2016. The adult believed Hale was still in Juneau in May.
JPD has received information that Hale may have left Juneau but has been unable to confirm that information. In response to a rumor Hale may have gone to Fairbanks, JPD contacted the Fairbanks Police Department who reports no contact with Hale. Hale also has family ties to the Anchorage and Wasilla areas. This press release will be distributed to agencies around Alaska.
If you have any information about Hale, please call JPD. Officer Blain Hatch will be conducting follow up on this investigation so please feel free at ask for Officer Hatch or leave a message at 586-0600.
