The agency said that 15-year old Pyper was last seen on Friday, February 6, 2026, at her home along the 1200 block of Fifth Avenue NW.
Pyper’s family and Police Officer Ritton believe Pyper is a runaway, and they are concerned for her safety.
Pyper's mother posted on Friday: "She was picked up on the northwest side of town about 945 this morning. I do not know by who or what vehicle. She knows the person, I do not. I do not know what she was wearing."
