Avery Dawn Workman has been found. Missing since Sunday, the teen's family suspected she had been drugged and taken to Boulder by a homeless man she met at the 16th Street Mall in Denver, Colorado. She had last spoken to her sister at 2:45 pm on Sunday, but didn't meet with her at 8 pm, like she had said she would.
Detective John White of the Denver Police Department said, "She is unharmed from what I understand. This actually appears to be more of a runaway situation as opposed to a missing persons case." Avery Workman will be reunited with her legal guardians today.
These teenage girls in Colorado, and everywhere else, for that matter, running away from home because they are so mistreated is getting ridiculous. Do these girls not realize that they are lucky to have a family that cares enough to look for them? Not everyone has that. Are they also unaware that there are people who are actually missing and the time spent searching for runaways is wasted and could be better used for actual missing persons cases? Are they just looking for attention they think they are lacking? If a child is actually missing, there's no one in their right mind who wouldn't help in any way they could, but these almost adults who are choosing to disappear for their own (selfish, silly) reasons, should be ashamed. That's kind of the opposite of what you're trying to prove. If you want to be treated like an adult, act like one. There are phones everywhere. Let people know where you are.

I'm Avery's aunt, her Mother Jennifer is my only sister. Avery DID NOT runaway!!!! She was given homemade acid made with bath salts.
She has been found in Boulder alive and is now in a hospital. She is very messed up on this drug. But I repeat she did not runaway!!!!! She is a very beautiful and talented girl and is very loved at home. She is a great kid and would NEVER leave her sister especially since they had plans to meet up Sunday. Avery has been thru hell and needs prayers to start to heal from this ordeal. Thank you for any love and support you can send her way!!!We are doing everything to get Avery the help that she needs. She is still very sick from the drugs she was given from the horrible man that took her. She is not in her right mind yet. He used bath salts in the acid he made. Bath salts are so extremly dangerous. It's such a new trend that the long term effects are unknown. We have been told this stuff could last and affect her in some way or another for up to 2 years. So Avery is still need of Prayers to help heal and get thru all of this. The Monster that took her was feeding her out of garbage cans and took her shoes away from her so she couldn't run off. Avery is truely the victim in all of this and really needs all the love and support she can get. Please please if you have teenage girls in your life hug them, tell them they are loved, and remind them they are targets for stranger danger and need to be aware of there surroundings. I wouldn't wish the nightmare we have gone thru on my worst enemy.

Julie Jordan thank you so much for saying this. I'm so sorry for her ordeal. I should never have spoken without facts. I briefly read and saw she had"run away" and didn't really check into it. I'm sorry to her and the family.

I understand. I read that same story that said she had runaway and was really upset. I was not trying to sound harsh towards you, I just wanted to get the actual facts out there. She was given a very serious and dangeous drug and is still under it's effects right now. We are happy to have her back, but she is still not out of the woods. I pray that she comes out of this soon!

And that's what I was really calling for. I took no offense. My feelings are not real valid in all ya must be going through. You mention she is in the hospital. How is she doing? I'm sure all want to know and am so relieved to hear she is safe.

Julie, thanks so much for posting. I hope I didn't offend by the runaway situation, it was just what I read in the Denver Post. I will pray for Avery and I hope that she can completely recover from this horrible ordeal. I am the mother of 2 daughters and I couldn't imagine what I would do if something like this happened to one of my girls. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.. Again, thanks for posting and my intention was not to put blame on Avery. Have a wonderful day.
