The missing teen daughter of two prestigious Silicon Valley magnates was seen at a ferry port some 50 miles from her mother's home in the San Francisco-area on Monday, a family friend has said.
Mint Butterfield, 16, vanished from her mother's home in affluent Bolinas, on April 21. Her mom, Flickr founder Caterina Fake, reported her missing the following day.
According to the missing poster in the case, Mint was last seen in Bolinas around 10pm Sunday. In a Facebook post, a family friend said that the teen was spotted in Larkspur Landing, a coastal community located north of San Francisco on April 23.
Mint, who the heiress to a $1.6 billion fortune thanks in part to her father, Stewart Butterfield being a founder of work messaging app Slack, is a student at a boarding school in Napa County.
He sold Slack to Salesforce in 2021 for $28 billion and formally left the company in 2022.
Adam Schermerhorn, a sergeant with the Marin County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday that it's believed Mint is in the infamous Tenderloin section of San Francisco, an area she has frequented in the past.
She has a substance abuse problem, reports The Daily Beast.
