Overview
- Madison Fields, 16, was last seen around 4 p.m. on Feb. 13 leaving the InTown Suites in Colerain Township, captured on nearby security cameras.
- Surveillance video shows her walking away with a Nike backpack and a grocery bag, with a neighbor noting she deviated from her usual route.
- Family members say she planned to meet an 18-year-old she contacted on the encrypted Session app, which they believe deletes messages.
- Her phone has since died; her father turned over old phones to investigators and requested a warrant to ping the device, which police declined to discuss, citing an ongoing investigation.
- Colerain Police were notified Feb. 16, clarified the case is a "missing juvenile" under Ohio Attorney General rules, and urged tips via the department’s digital line or 513-321-COPS as community searches continue.
