We're looking for this missing girl. Her name is Jade Colvin. She was a sweet little ray of sunshine. Just an angel, a
00:00:11
doll. This is a cold case that could just sit there and no one let it. Jade went missing June 10th of 2016.
00:00:24
At the time, she was 14 years old. >> But she comes off as much older. She's super cool, super
00:00:32
smart, so interesting. This one tugged at my heartstrings. We have families, we have kids, some of us have daughters.
00:00:40
You don't get to go home and turn off Jade Colvin. There were so many people that were
00:00:46
involved in this. Lead detective. >> Special agent. >> Deputy US Marshal. I'm a detective.
00:00:52
Everybody came together to figure out what happened to Jade. I first met her through one of my best
00:01:01
friends, and we were inseparable from that moment. We just always had a dumb good time wherever we were.
00:01:08
She loved doing her hair. She was really great at colors. She was very artsy, had great style.
00:01:16
They were just like sisters. I don't think Jade had an easy life. Her mom would disappear for periods of time.
00:01:24
She was put in foster care. Jade just really hated it. She ran away. She kind of went from state to state,
00:01:31
place to place. It was just hard to keep up with where she was. But she always always always just would check in.
00:01:39
And then one random day just nothing ever again. Weeks went by, then it's months, then
00:01:48
it's years. Once I was assigned this case, every trace of her was gone. When we initially adopted the
00:01:58
case, she had been listed as a runaway. How do you know at this point, is this a
00:02:02
runaway or is this somebody took her? We didn't know. Jade's digital footprint last landed in
00:02:11
Decorah, Iowa. Really remote area that she did not know. She was there for several days and was never seen again.
00:02:20
The last place Jade was living was here. Absolutely. The house was straight on this driveway. There's a lot of places
00:02:28
to look for a young girl here. I mean, where did you even begin? It's a needle in a haystack, I said.
00:02:36
Who are the last people that were around her? Who lived in the same house or who was
00:02:41
at the same place? We don't know where loyalties and alliances lie at this point. We got a
00:02:47
lot of tips. From Massachusetts to Oklahoma to Texas to Minnesota. My goal was always like, Oh, we're going to find
00:02:55
this girl. That was the hope every day. We never forgot about her. And just always wondered where she was.
00:03:04
And was afraid something bad had happened. But I would have never in a million years thought it would come to this.
