A critical search is underway for sixteen-year-old Chace Finn, who has been missing from Petaluma, California since Tuesday morning.

Family Concerns and Initial Search

Chace’s family is deeply concerned for his safety, as he requires medication for anxiety and depression and has been without it for several days. They state that his disappearance is highly unusual, as he has never run away before.

Loved ones and friends have been actively searching for Chace, focusing on areas he frequently visits. The last confirmed sighting was at his home while playing a video game.

Details of Disappearance

Chace had a scheduled appointment on Tuesday afternoon, which he missed. He was a student at Carpe Diem High School. His absence from the appointment prompted his family to report him missing.

Medical Needs and Police Response

Chace’s mother, Nadine Finn, revealed that he relies on medication to manage his anxiety and depression. Being without his medication is a significant concern, as it can worsen his emotional state.

Due to his medical needs, the Petaluma Police Department has classified this case as a ‘missing teen at risk’ and is dedicating resources to his safe return.

Investigation and Potential Leads

Law enforcement is investigating reported sightings and pursuing leads suggesting Chace may have traveled to a nearby city. They are also looking into a possible connection with another teenager from Windsor who also left home.

Physical Description and Last Known Clothing

Chace is approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs 150 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a dark-colored hoodie and sweatpants and may be carrying a small black backpack.

Notably, he left behind his cellphone, identification, and money, which is considered highly unusual.

Public Plea and Contact Information

Nadine Finn emotionally pleaded for her son’s safe return, describing him as a kind and loyal individual. She expressed her deep love and desperation to have him home.

The Petaluma Police Department urges anyone with information to come forward. They are actively following all leads and exploring the possibility that Chace may have used public transportation, specifically a bus near his home.
