PARK COUNTY, Colo. (KWTX) The search intensified Friday for a teenage girl from Sherman who’s missing in Colorado.

[Emma] Stokes' family says the teen had been in Colorado for two weeks before running away with 16-year-old Anna Frankman, 16, who is also from out of state.

The two teens were in what the family described as an intense mental health therapy program at the Institute for Attachment and Child Development in Littleton when they left the home in which they were staying.

A search, which included a K9 team, led officers to a state highway, but there the trail ended.

Friday morning, there was a report the two girls had been spotted in Conifer, Colo., southwest of Denver.

Stokes’ parents are in Denver and appealing to residents for help.

New flyer, upgraded to Endangered Missing. There's another flyer attached at the bottom of this post, it includes additional photos of the pair.

LOCAL GIRL REPORTED MISSING AND ENDANGERED IN COLORADO
By Journal Staff , Idaho State Journal | 12 hrs ago

A local teen is one of two girls who ran away from a therapeutic foster home in Colorado and have been listed as missing.

The Park County, Colorado, Sheriff's Office said Frankman and Stokes, both age 16, were being treated at the foster home for "significant mental health issues" when they ran away together. The foster home is affiliated with the Institute for Attachment and Child Development in Littleton, Colorado.

Authorities said the girls are not a danger to the public but they are considered to be endangered because of their severe mental illnesses and lack of medication.

It's believed that after running away the girls were possibly picked up by a vehicle along a nearby highway. The girls apparently fled their foster home without taking any electronic devices, money or backpacks.

An account, titled "Fund for Anna Frankman," has been set up to help Frankman's family pay to go to Colorado to look for her.

PRESS RELEASE

July 18, 2019

On July 17, 2019, the Park County Sheriff’s Office received information from a confidential subject concerning the two runaway females that had been reported missing on July 7th. The subject advised that they had seen the two runaways in the area of 44th Avenue in Wheat Ridge at an apartment complex and were staying with a family there. The Park County Sheriff’s Office immediately contacted the CBI and requested that they respond to the apartment complex in an attempt to locate the runaways. CBI along with the Wheat Ridge Police Department responded and within a short time were able to make contact by cellular phone with a male subject who related that he had just determined that the two juvenile females were the runaways from Park County and he was en route to Park County to turn them in to the Sheriff’s Office. The male subject further advised that his daughter had brought them home and he had been of the understanding that they were his daughter’s friends. CBI made contact with the male subject on I-70 and escorted them to Park County. Both the runaways were brought to the Bailey substation by the male subject and his family. Once at the substation they were reunited with their parents. The male subject was interviewed and released. Both the juveniles were physically unharmed. Information from both juveniles indicated that they had escaped out of a window of the home in Bailey where they had been originally staying, walked through the woods to Highway 285 and caught a ride to the Denver area.
