Penelope walked away from her family home, located near Morley Park in Cedar Springs, on the evening of May 31, according to the sheriff’s office. Around 6 p.m. that day, she was spotted on surveillance video on Rockford Park Drive near Northland Drive.

On June 1, she was captured on camera walking alone by the Corner Bar in Rockford, deputies said.

Deputies continue to trace teen girl missing since May

Lt. Eric Brunner with the sheriff’s office previously told Target 8 that there’s been no sign of Penelope since, and that’s why the sheriff’s department had stepped up efforts to find her, including going door-to-door in downtown Rockford.

Deputies considered Penelope a runaway, and Silent Observer had offered up to $1,000 for information that helped to find her.

The case ******** under investigation. The sheriff’s office said more information will be released on Monday.
