The daughter of Slack co-founder Stewart Butterfield and Flickr co-founder Caterina Fake, Mint Butterfield, has disappeared without a trace in the United States. She recently turned 16. Posters urging help in the search for the girl are plastered on the streets of San Francisco, reports Daily Mail.
Details
Four days ago, Mint disappeared from her mother's house in the affluent Marin County, California.
Police do not rule out that the teenager may be in the center of San Francisco - Tenderloin, the city's most crime-ridden district, known as the "heroin ghetto."
Nearby are City Hall, the Conservatory of Flowers, museums, libraries, as well as the headquarters of X and Uber. At the center of all this public activity lies the most dangerous place.
According to flyers posted throughout the area, Mint was last seen on Sunday evening around 10:00 PM in Bolinas, California.

The next morning, her mother reported her disappearance. The daughter of entrepreneurs had previously undergone treatment for drug addiction, but how she could end up in Tenderloin remains unclear.
There are two possible scenarios - the girl could have gone there voluntarily, or it was an abduction.
Meanwhile, the police are keeping the investigation secret.
What is known about the girl's parents
You can judge the lifestyle of Mint's father from his real estate. He lives in a luxurious mansion worth $31.7 million, which has a wine cellar for 500 bottles, while another house, which cost him $19 million, has seven bedrooms.

The missing girl's parents divorced almost immediately after her birth. After that, Stewart married Jen Rubio, co-owner of the Away, brand of travel accessories, and became the father of two more children.
Kate, the girl's mother, started a relationship with Jyri Engestrom, with whom they have three children. After the parents' divorce, Mint lived with her mother.
