Former Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield’s teenage child has been “safely recovered” a week after being reported missing in San Francisco, the family said in a statement released Sunday.
The 16-year-old, who was considered a runaway after leaving their home in Marin County, was found on the streets of San Francisco Saturday evening, according to an email from the teenager’s father, their mother, and their stepdad.
“Our hearts are full of gratitude tonight to the hard working men and women of the SFPD who safely recovered our child, Mint, from the streets of San Francisco this evening. A special thanks to Marin County Sheriff’s office who led the effort along with all the other law enforcement agencies involved. A heartfelt thanks to all the family, friends, volunteers, and strangers who called in tips and made this recovery possible,” the parents wrote in the email to the press on Sunday.
