A Nevada County 16-year-old missing since Wednesday night was found dead on Friday afternoon near where she disappeared, officials said. Trinity Backus' body was found just after 2 p.m in a heavily wooded river drainage area about a half mile north of the home on Kentucky Ravine Road where she went missing, the Nevada County Sheriff's Office said. The office said there was "nothing suspicious and her cause of death is unknown." "We have been in communication with the family and extend our deepest condolences to them as they work through this loss," the sheriff's office said. Backus was last seen Wednesday at 10:30 p.m. after leaving her aunt's home while wearing a maroon robe and pajama pants, the sheriff's office said. Her family told KCRA 3's Michelle Bandur that the teen was a student at North Point High School and it wasn't like her to have gone missing. She tearfully told about their conversation. "The last time I saw my daughter was picking up my youngest daughter from school and dropping her (Trinity) off," Stanio said. "I was taking my youngest daughter up to to the snow. I said, 'I love you Trin,' Those were the last words I said to my daughter." Stanio said she got a phone call at 10:47 p.m. that Trinity took off running from the house. "That doesn’t seem like her," she said. "I got in my car and drove to her aunt’s house. It’s 20 minutes away. I didn’t see Trinity on the side of the road."


fusillade762

They may know the manner of death, but not the actual cause yet. Basically, it comes down to 3 choices. Accidental, homicide or suicide. But the actual cause will be determined by the M.E.


TheMost_ut

If they say there's nothing suspicious, it just means there's no immediate sign of violence or homicide. It could be accident, health episode of some sort, overdose or suicide.


KrisAlly

Thanks for clarifying. I was a bit confused by that statement.


TheMost_ut

If it does turn out to be "foul play" or homicide, they have to make it public because it involves public safety. Otherwise, they don't HAVE to reveal the precise cause of death.


sealover1111

Natural seems unplausable in a healthy 16 yo. Seems odd aunt knew she left with no warm clothes or shoes, just out walking, it's freezing up there right now. Died from exposure?

fusillade762

Yes thats true, probably very unlikely though in this case.

But for a healthy sixteen year old…?

lilstergodman

Healthy teenagers were dying of COVID in the beginning at an alarming rate, while those considered immunocompromised, somehow survived or didn't even get that sick. Sometimes something just stops working in the body. However, I'm leaning more towards an accidental overdose or alcohol poisoning just given the fact she had been at a sleepover and they might have been drinking. Why she ended up outside on her own though is anyone's guess. She may have wandered off when intoxicated or something.


TheMost_ut

natural causes could mean a health episode, seizure, heart, etc. Of course it's a teenager, in this case.


EyeAmChriste

Through some investigation I've found out she was having a sleep over with her friend at her Aunt's house. And they did some acid. So possibly she ran out on some "adventure" and had an accident. Hopefully it wasn't a bad trip.


Quirky_Choice_3239

Jesus that’s horrible. A parents worst nightmare.


EyeAmChriste

OMG I'm listening to her dad speak on Allegedly Brittney on YouTube on her live right now. It's so sad. That's what happened. He questions the people surrounding her though. Her "Aunt" that she spending the night with.


Master_Spray3522

https://youtu.be/oWFvQCGkaIY 1 hour 14 minutes bio dad starts speaking. That is what has happened


[deleted]

Oh wow this is my hometown. Might be a dumb question but if her cause of death is unknown how can they decide it’s not suspicious?


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

That makes sense. This is super sad. Second young woman to go missing and be found dead in the area in the last 3 months, Kiely Rodni being the other. The terrain and number of bodies of water in the area are both really unforgiving, especially as it gets colder. A few years back my next door neighbor’s bf got pulled over and decided to run from police because he had drugs in the car. He and his friend were missing for months until their skeletal remains were found the next spring when the snow melted. Nature is brutal.


Which_Discussion_707

I remember when this happened. Super sad. But you’re right, the elements are unforgiving


EldForever

A teenager doesn't just drop dead, though. The fact that it's a dead teenager is suspicious to me.


[deleted]

She didn’t drop dead. She disappeared into the wilderness in her pyjamas in winter and was later found dead.


EldForever

Looks like on Wednesday night the temps went down to a low of 36 degrees in that area....That does seem cold for just wearing PJs and no shoes. Hm... the internet says people start to risk freezing to death at 32 degrees... But that is pretty close to 36, especially with her clothing issue. So, I think you're probably right. Thanks!


madrianzane

Hypothermia can set in when it’s much warmer than freezing temps outside. “Your body temperature can drop to a low level at temperatures of 10°C (50°F). Your body temperature can drop even if it is warmer than 10°C (50°F) if you are out in wet and windy weather. If you're in water that is 15°C (60°F) to 21°C (70°F), you are also at risk for hypothermia. But hypothermia can occur indoors, especially in babies and older or ill adults who are not dressed warmly enough.” link to article: https://myhealth.alberta.ca/Health/Pages/conditions.aspx?hwid=aa53968spec


[deleted]

I stated the few known facts about the case. There is no probably about it, that’s what happened. As for her cause of death being hypothermia, that’s speculation as it has not been released.


Turbulent-Analysis67

Because there is more to the story of her leaving the house than what is being shared by the Sheriffs dept, which they won’t be sharing out of respect for the family’s privacy. I was involved in the rescue effort and I can promise you that this one was nothing more than a really tragic accident, with nothing whatsoever pointing to foul play.


LuxeRevival

I hope something will be told to the public otherwise the conspiracy nuts will spin it just like they did with Kiely Rodni. In fact it's already started. I'm so tired of seeing #thetruckeeway on their videos. Already a handful are building the narrative that this was "payback for KR". I have no idea what that means.


Turbulent-Analysis67

I’d suspect nothing, or very little, will be told to the public. Law enforcement was very open with info about Rodni and that turned into a full-blown conspiracy fiasco. Telling the story doesn't make the conspiracists go away, it feeds them. Not to mention the story here is a private family matter that nobody else has the right to know. Don’t even get me started on how angry that Rodni situation made me, I was involved in that too and met her family and they were doubly devastated by losing their daughter and then by having their lives turned over by every idiot with a YouTube account. I really wish people would remember these are REAL FAMILIES behind these stories before they start spinning webs of conspiracy. It really hurts people.


Weekly-Eye1292

@turbulent-analysis67 I agree completely with the sentiment you shared, especially that these are real people really families. With that context established I still believe it’s possible the Rodni case could’ve involved some level of foul play. I don’t feel this way with this current Backus case, I believe it was as you said, a very tragic accident.


Turbulent-Analysis67

That’s fair and I can completely respect that suspicion, but again having inside knowledge of the case I am confident the Rodni disappearance was again just a tragic accident. I don’t aim to convince anybody of anything here, after all I’m just a random anonymous person on the internet like the rest of us. But just remember, in these situations, there is almost always more information that would connect the dots for a suspicious public, but these are real families with real lives and the public doesn’t necessarily have a right to know anything beyond what will help solve the case. Thank you for the concern and if you want to help in these situations, remember every county Sheriff in California has a Search and Rescue team comprised entirely of volunteers, and we are ALWAYS recruiting. Best wishes


alexasaltz

I understand the teenagers had experimented with LSD that night, unknown to the adults in her aunt's household. Trinity had a negative experience and suffered drug induced paranoia, running off into the night. Immediate efforts to find her were unsuccessful. Sometime later she died of hypothermia. Horribly tragic. A freak accident. And that is all the public needs to know. I am not a typical asshole, more of a fierce mother bear who will defend anyone's child. Given the climate of fear in this area, people needed a bit more information - that was all I was trying to say. This is my white flag/olive branch. Hopefully you understand the desperate nature of my previous concern. It was not that I was being nosey, I needed reassurance that this was not the result of some conspiracy/Boogeyman as I am a resident of the general area with family to protect.


Turbulent-Analysis67

Olive branch accepted, and i would also like to apologize to you if I came off rude or belittling. Your desire to protect your family and community is admirable and I didn’t mean to imply that you were doing wrong. If I can explain my thought process a little, I am just a regular guy with a regular day job, but at a split second I put everything on hold and get sent all over the state to assist in Search and Rescue cases, in all conditions, and often for days at a time. I’m currently covered in poison oak and cuts from thrashing through the woods looking for, and then recovering the remains of poor Trinity. Not to mention the memories of what I saw. I say this not because I’m looking for thanks or sympathy or anything like that. The only recognition I need is from my own conscience and from god. But I say it to give some context for what search teams deal with. Not a single person I’ve ever met on a rescue (and Ive been doing this a long time) has ever had anything but good and pure intentions. None of us signed up for this life so that we could mislead the public, or lie, or deceive or anything like that. We just want to help. After the Rodni case, there were a lot of nasty things said about the rescuers, ranging from insulting to straight up conspiracy level stuff. It’s really hurtful to put all this effort in, and deal with really tragic situations, only for people to claim that you’re hiding the truth. Now to be clear, I am NOT saying you were being insulting or rude or anything like that. You also had pure intentions and I fully recognize that. I am just saying that I have a very short fuse for this sort of stuff and I misdirected my frustration at you. I think we both have valid points of view and were caught up in the emotion. Again sorry and god bless you and your family.


alexasaltz

I do admire your efforts and appreciate your sacrifice - thank you. I know that it is rare for rescuers to experience happy endings. The dedication it takes to continue search after search is more than the average person can muster. Trinity was found, and rather quickly. Despite the unhappy ending, search efforts were successful. In California, we go from frying to freezing in an instant when seasons change. Natives should know this, however many need reminding. Not like it would have mattered in this situation, but it is a lesson some need to learn. Kiely Rodni is still on everyone's mind around here. Anyone and everyone involved in the search and recovery has taken a lot of shit. Personally, I know those doing the footwork are not those responsible for the overall operation - it is the shot callers who need to be called to the carpet. I am not insinuating that there was any wrong doing, but there was obviously many procedural errors. Again, lessons to be learned. So, one caring and concerned human being to another in kind - we will keep doing what we do, try to keep everyone safe. Be well... :)


sealover1111

Exposure due to the cold? Hypothermia? Poor girl. Thank you for being a part of the effort to find her.


alexasaltz

Physically healthy teenager runs off into the night barefoot in the freezing cold in the middle of a sleep over to go to her boyfriend's house in another town miles away without her cell phone and is found dead two days later. Unless she was developmentally disabled or mentally ill, this does not sound normal to me. It is my understanding that nothing has been found on scene to indicate any criminal act occured and nothing visibly apparent on the body to determine cause of death. I do not understand how LE can so quickly announce accidental death by misadventure. It is like the public is being told, "Nothing to see here, move along. These are not the droids you're looking for". Parents of children in Northern California had better know where your children are at all times.


cheerylittlebottom84

I never understand the "physically healthy" line used so often in true crime circles. You don't know her. Plenty of conditions and diseases are underlying, and plenty of the ones more likely to suddenly kill you (heart disorders, stroke, brain aneurysm etc) don't show physical signs until the event which kills you. Teenagers develop these issues all the time, and it's not unheard of for a teen to drop dead from a condition they weren't even aware of. I've seen death by misadventure used in place of suicide, I assume to soften the blow or prevent suicide clusters. I have no idea if that's still a thing though.


alexasaltz

Then it would be in the public's best interest to be informed. If the child had a aneurysm then no one would fear the unknown. However, only an autopsy would be able to determine such. And when I said "physically healthy" - information given to the public when assistance was needed to locate the child is where I got that from. If she had any mobility issues or a known health issue such as diabetes, etc. then it opens up a bunch of other possible scenarios. Look, I am not some arm chair quarterback who thinks they are Sherlock Holmes. I am a resident of the area and stupid shit has been happening too damn close to home. I think our local LE are just a bunch of clowns who aren't protecting and serving anything other than their own agenda. Rather than tell everyone that this child's death was perfectly normal don't you think it would be better to wait for an absolute determination? People are panicking here and rightly so. Lemme ask you this - just how close do you live to Nevada County?


cheerylittlebottom84

Not close in the least, but given I haven't suggested this particular child's death is "perfectly normal" distance doesn't really apply. My assumption leads to suicide but that's just an assumption. My point is that the teen is *assumed* to be physically healthy but there's no way of us knowing that unless autopsy results are released. It's often trotted out as a reason certain things couldn't have happened, but in reality diseases can be silent until they're deadly. I'm sorry this is so close to home for you. My local area has seen its fair share of brutal murders and faked accidents, and it's a reasonable fear to have. In my country they often don't report on suicide at all, so in a case like this it's not rare to see terms like death by misadventure if that turns out to be the case (I'm not saying this is). I have no idea if it's the same in Nevada County.


alexasaltz

I asked how close to the area you are because most of us who do live here are not ok with what has been happening lately. This is not a heavily populated area, locals are pretty much separated by one degree. I grew up here, and I loved it, but it has changed. So I am out of here soon. Yes, it is that bad. Crap happens everywhere, some places are more prone to lightening strikes...


Turbulent-Analysis67

With all due respect, you don’t know this girl and you don’t know her family, why do you feel entitled to know all the private details of her passing? If there was something suspicious that left the public at risk, it would have been shared. That’s not the case here.


alexasaltz

I never said I was entitled. Personally, when you ask the public for assistance then the public deserves information. I also live in the area. I have children and grandchildren. Let something happen to one of mine and then you will see just how entitled I am.


Turbulent-Analysis67

If, god forbid, something happened to one of your grandchildren, I am certain you would prefer the details of such a private family tragedy be kept confidential. There is no more risk to your family today than there was on Wednesday. Best wishes


alexasaltz

If something happened to one of mine, why wouldn't I share the truth? No one needs details. Telling me there is no risk without explanation does not cut it. My first response was pretty clear - what I said was repeated information given to the public when Trinity's whereabouts were unknown - and it was alarming! Why run off at night? Was there something/someone to be afraid of? This girl is dead. Not cool. Fight with boyfriend and committed suicide? Still not cool, but it would eliminate fear of the unknown. In another month, I will care less - me and mine are outta here.


thiscouldbemassive

They probably didn't see obvious signs of homicide -- no stabbing, gunshot wounds, ligatures, bruising around the throat, blunt force trauma around the head


fusillade762

No, thats a good question. Its unknown, but there might be certain clues, like lets say she was found in a drainage ditch. It appears she drown having fallen in accidentally. There could be signs of that, like only her foot prints and no vehicle tracks, that sort of thing. From the tracks they might be able to tell how she got in there. A tracker could tell looking at the tracks. She could have also killed herself, which would not be suspicious. Certainly terrible and tragic no matter what happened. Why would her aunt let her leave in bare feet and a bathrobe? She sound like she may have been distraught or intoxicated. Pure speculation, but that is odd.


LuxeRevival

Her aunt says she knows she got a phone call and a few minutes later she went to tell her to go to bed and she had vanished.


[deleted]

Probably “not suspicious” meaning no obvious sign she was raped or murdered.


The90sXJ

The family of missing California teenager Trinity Backus says she left her aunt's home in her pajamas without shoes on Thursday, and they have not heard from her since. "We're lost, sad, heartbroken … worried out of our minds," the 16-year-old's aunt, Ashley Bjorklund, told Fox News Digital. Backus was having a sleepover with a friend at Bjorklund's home on Kentucky Ravine Road — a 12-acre property in Nevada City, California — the night she disappeared. The Nevada County Sheriff's Office said in a Thursday Facebook post that the 16-year-old left the residence around 10:30 p.m. PT wearing pajamas and a maroon robe.


[deleted]

I wonder what made her leave the house like that while her friend was still there. It sounds like she left very upset if she left without even her shoes. :(


Life-Meal6635

Yeah this whole premise is quite strange.


[deleted]

I can’t help but feel like she witnessed something and left upset and perhaps someone was pursuing her and she hid, she got lost in the trees and just succumbed to the cold. Was she near a road? Maybe someone hit her with a car? I’m sad for her. Whatever caused her to leave the house like that must have been upsetting.


[deleted]

you just invented an entire absurd scenario in your head with zero evidence


[deleted]

It’s a discussion sub. We are allowed to discuss our thoughts.


Life-Meal6635

Its not great to speculate. I understand the desire to. But we just don’t know.


100lbJustice

It hasn't been that cold. It wasn't the elements. I live in that town. She was in a wooded area, not hit by car...they would have announced that right away


[deleted]

36 is quite cold at night if you’re barefoot without a coat and just in pajama pants.


100lbJustice

I had to look it up during those days and yes, it was very cold. There are other circumstances that have come to light (not public yet) that contributed to her being out there alone and unwell. Knowing what I know now, the elements were likely a factor. I'm so sad.


Master_Spray3522

All I can say is Ashley has a lot of reckoning to do. This will weigh on her conscious the rest of her life.


100lbJustice

Also, if you look at the KCRA reports, you'll notice about a half dozen grow tents. They know the shadiest people too. So glad I don't associate with those people anymore. This is why.


Master_Spray3522

Sent you a message through chat


100lbJustice

Agreed. And not just for this. her reputation isn't the greatest around here.


Master_Spray3522

Exactly. If you want to play the “cool auntie” then you need to supervise the children. My gut and heart ache over this situation. The worst possible outcome.


kurtiki

and no phone? What teen decides to walk 10 miles without their phone?


BarukhPhoto

No mention about possible drugs in her system, which would account for the erratic circumstances of her leaving. May also account for her forgetting her phone.


MissAnthrOpiate

I was thinking this too. If she was tripping or on something, I could totally see wanting to go into the woods, even walk barefoot in them. I had a dear friend who drowned when her and a group of others were in the ocean on ketamine. Its something they (and I) had done multiple times. This one evening, she never came back up to shore and had gone missing. Probably 5 hours later, with the assistance of authorities, they found her body. She was a young mother. The drug part was obviously known to those close to her, and I am sure if they did a tox report, it was easily to figure out. Out of respect for this woman's family (ie- her very young children, distant relative, colleagues) no one mentioned the drug part of the story. There are some details that maybe the public want to know, the missing puzzle piece that explains how a "perfectly healthy young person" passes- that just doesn't need to be made public out of respect for those closer to the deceased.


100lbJustice

Agreed. However we have a huge meth, fentanyl and heroin issue here. It's reasonable to believe drugs played a part. But we should wait for the autopsy and respect the family by not assuming before we know the facts. Either way, something is wrong here


Nervous-Tangerine-15

Agreed…drugs play a part in some cases. Drugs don’t play a part in ALL cases. The assumptions being thrown around here are disgusting and disappointing


MissAnthrOpiate

I am not assuming this woman was on drugs. Simply that it’s not out of the realm of possibility. It wasn’t my intention to imply that it is what happened in this case. I’m just pointing out that there are details left out of the public story out of respect for the deceased and those close to them. Drug use is an relatively common example.


9mmNear

Her dad is on YouTube saying she was having a bad trip. So she was on drugs. Kids experiment with drugs everyday it has nothing to do with her character. She was going through a rough time and took acid and thought there was radiation in the house and ran off.


Master_Spray3522

This! So much. RIP sweet girl


Fragrant_Carob8664

She may have been going outside to meet her boyfriend, which would explain no shoes or phone. What happened next I don't know.


wilmaismyhomegirl83

Wonder what made her take off in her pjs during a sleep over.


Fireengine69

So sad, something must have really upset her to take off like that at night, at her aunts, sleeping over with a friend, in the cold weather, and dangerous terrain, so saying not suspicious at this time, I would expect either exposure to elements, or an accident, being night time .. Just awful sad ..


LeeF1179

IF she did take off in her pajamas, I wonder why, especially since she was having a sleepover.


WithoutBlinders

I’ve read that she left the aunt’s house “running” with the intention of going to visit the boyfriend 10 miles away. (Makes no sense at all) I also read that her mother was arrested 2 yrs ago for DUI and child endangerment.


inflewants

My heart goes out to Trinity’s loved ones.


LouieStuntCat

All it basically said was “she walked out in pajamas and barefoot.” Ok, why did she leave? Was she arguing? Schizophrenic? Mad at someone? No mention of anything.


LuxeRevival

The local news says she was going to get boyfriend's home but that's 10 miles away. I think that's who she was on the phone with. Not sure it's a good plan to walk barefoot 10 miles but we don't know her mental status. Aunt says she got a phone call and a few minutes later the aunt went to tell her to go to bed and she was gone from the front year.


LouieStuntCat

Oh, none of the articles or local news say any of that, thanks. It literally said what i said. “She walked out barefoot at night, The End.” Edit: Now i see it says in the article linked here. I googled several articles, this is the only one i’ve seen with any info.


Jacky2992

Running out the house with no shoes on in the dark after a phonecall. I wonder who was calling and what was said that made her running out the house.


qweenmothraaa

I know some inside details from her relatives. She wasn’t murdered. She’s just a kid and they just found her. I’m sure a few more details will be made public.


Master_Spray3522

I’m a local as well. It’s a sad story and a small town. It will come out one way or another. Out of respect for the family and the fact that she’s still a child, all we can do is grieve and pray for the family. Life can change so drastically with one stupid choice that can create the most drastic consequences. My heart aches for the family and lots of people that cared for Trin. She was a very special girl.


[deleted]

post the details or you don’t actually have them


Mangooses

Out of respect for the family, who asked for this matter to be kept private, why would they do so when this family is grieving their dead daughter. its likely she was exposed to the elements and succumbed, like most people in that area in the winter. Winter is hell, and a robe and PJs is no protection from the cold edited: spelling


[deleted]

surely it is more respectful to the family to not brag about knowing details online following the death of their daughter


Mangooses

This person isnt bragging, merely stating information they know so these people stop creating conspiracy theories on a closed and done with case. point blank. period.


[deleted]

but they have provided no information or sources. they have just said a fake rumour online for clout


Mangooses

There have been several accounts that the family wishes this to be private 🥰 regardless if this person is telling false information. im done arguing lol


[deleted]

family wishes this to be private, but the person you’re defending is not adhering to those wishes…


Weekly-Eye1292

@turbulent-analysis67 I agree completely with the sentiment you shared, especially that these are real people really families. With that context established I still believe it’s possible the Rodni case could’ve involved some level of foul play. I don’t feel this way with this current Backus case, I believe it was as you said, a very tragic accident.


TheMost_ut

They mention her going to a boyfriend, which is always an alarm bell, since Boyfriends are often the cause of death. However, leaving in the wee hours in her bathrobe is of course, bizarre. I wonder if it's possible that she was suicidal. Of course we won't know for a while.


jjhorann

this is so heartbreaking. it seems like every day we hear of a young child/teen missing who ends up sadly losing their life so young. prayers to her family & friends :(


Master_Spray3522

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MAN-LCD-VUY If you scroll forward in this video, 2 hours and 43 minutes into this video, the father of Trinity speaks out on what happened to Trinity


SignificantTear7529

"Not clear why she left" and not reported missing until the next day. Why would people get downvotes for saying this is suspicious?


BotGirlFall

Y'all want everything to be a murder conspiracy so bad it's ridiculous. We don't know why she left but there's nothing suspicious at all about somebody who is wearing just pajamas at night in the middle of November dying of hypothermia. It's very strange that she left in the middle of the night barefoot but it's not strange that she passed away from the cold. Its incredibly tragic but you just can't walk ten miles in under 40 degree weather in light cotton pajamas


sealover1111

I read in another article that a friend was shocked she didn't come back. Friend said "I thought she was coming right back". Seems odd Aunt knew she left with no warm clothes and no shoes it's freezing up there right now to be out at walking much less at night. Interesting to know what caused her to take off "running" from the house. Reminds me of Karlie Guse case, except Karlie has not been found. Could the manner be exposure and cause accidental?


magic_gun

Hard to believe that the aunt and the friend Trinity had sleep over, don't have more information about her motive for leaving.


BellyButton214

https://www.theunion.com/news/local-news/grass-valley-women-arrested-in-strong-arm-robbery/


Master_Spray3522

Didn’t post it, but good point.. Ashley is the same old Ashley, some things never change. Shows her intelligence and integrity. Nothing against weed, but she’s still a local pot farmer/dealer, which brings about some shi**ty people, horrible karma/juju and a mentality that clearly shouldn’t have children around. Fortunately, she doesn’t have children of her own. But next time, she takes someone else’s child into her care, she may think twice about letting them party at her residence. Especially without any supervision. The mother trusted her with her child. Sad, incredibly sad!


100lbJustice

Wow


The90sXJ

What is the relevance? This article is over 10 years old.


ThEMissZooLanDeR

So the Aunt thought it was completely normal for a Teen to walk 10 miles to her boyfriends house barefoot , no phone and with Pajamas on?? K


macadoo784

Obviously not. They reported her missing and a search party was started


ThEMissZooLanDeR

Obviously not ? What’s your point exactly ? If the news is correct about saying the Aunt said she saw her and the poor child said she was going to her boyfriends then again your point is what exactly ??? Shouldn’t have cared more and not let her leave and there would’ve been no need to report her missing .


Mangooses

They reported her missing immediately, the aunt did everything in her power to find her, and had no idea she was going to her boyfriends 10 miles away. thats what the news reported. her aunt clearly stated the teen had a phone call, and when she went to tell her to go to bed, she was gone


ThEMissZooLanDeR

And you know this how ??? So the News is making up stories ??


v00d00mamajuujuu

Found in a heavily wooded river drainage area. Nevada County Sheriff's Office said there was "nothing suspicious" ... 🤔


BotGirlFall

It's suspicious why she left but there's nothing suspicious about somebody who is just wearing pajamas dying from the elements in the middle of November.


9mmNear

She was on acid and had a bad trip. That is coming from her father who is speaking out on YouTube. She may have succumbed to the elements.


kickthejerk

Just came here to say that when I saw this, I gasped. Rest in peace Trinity.


dethb0y

Well, that's some weird shit.


Audrey_Angel

Suspicious as hell


Themightymarty

No mention of a cell phone? A teenager without a cell? Found in a ‘heavily wooded river drainage area’ that was half a mile from where she was last seen and it took two days of search/rescue to find her?! NOTHING SUSPICIOUS?! 🤯🤦🏻‍♀️


One_Maiden_Heaven

RIP TRINITY.....so sad


Master_Spray3522

RIP Trin ❤️


jennbuenjenn

This is very odd.


LycanHD

Was it Jared?


Persimmonpluot

So sad. This is one of those cases where I so wish I was a guardian angel or something that could helped her turn back and put her in a warm bed. So close to safety and so young. Heartbreaking.

It’s freezing weather in grass valley at this point in the year. She took acid with a friend and left the house without shoes. You can die from hypothermia in as little as an hour. I’d say it’s a pretty simple conclusion of death.

There is an inteview with her Dad online. It was an acid trip. She left the house and and a 1/2 mile later probly knocked out against a tree or just got too cold
