Idaho state authorities issued a public appeal on Nov. 9 for information regarding 16-year-old Zoey Grace McBrien. McBrien, a resident of Post Falls, has not been in contact with her family since Oct. 14.

The last confirmed sighting of the teen occurred near her home on Oct. 14, according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Police have not identified McBrien as a runaway under state law enforcement protocols.

Details surrounding her disappearance remain limited. Investigators have not released her exact last known location, nor can they confirm whether she was traveling by automobile when she was last seen.

The case has drawn attention across the state, with officials noting a possibility that McBrien may have traveled to a neighboring state. The Post Falls Police Department, located in the city 10 miles northwest of Coeur d'Alene, is leading the search effort.

Authorities included a biblical reference from Luke 19:10 on the NCMEC website alongside contact details for the case. The text reads, “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

Those with information are asked to call the Post Falls Police Department at 208-773-3517. Tipsters may remain anonymous.
