Post Falls Police Seek Missing 16-Year-Old Zoey McBrien
Authorities launched a statewide alert on Nov. 9 for a teenager last seen in northern Idaho on Oct. 14.
By Julia Wang ·
Idaho state authorities issued a public alert on Nov. 9 for 16-year-old Zoey Grace McBrien, who has not contacted her family since October 14. The missing teen resides in Post Falls, a community situated 10 miles northwest of Coeur d'Alene in the northern part of the state.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children logged the case based on the last known sighting of McBrien near her residence on Wednesday, October 14. Police in the region are appealing to the public for information as the search enters its third week without confirmed updates on her location.
Law enforcement officials have not classified McBrien as a runaway under state law. Investigators have not disclosed the precise coordinates of her final known position. It remains unclear whether she was traveling by automobile at the time she disappeared.
The NCMEC listing includes a biblical reference to Luke 19:10 regarding seeking the lost. The alert suggests a possibility that the teenager may have crossed into a neighboring state, prompting the wider geographic scope of the inquiry.
The Post Falls Police Department requested that anyone with information call 208-773-3517. The department stated that tipsters may remain anonymous if they wish.
The case is currently under active review by local and state law enforcement agencies. No further public details regarding the investigation's status have been released as of the Nov. 9 alert.
