Tech billionaire heiress Mint Butterfield has been found by police after she vanished over a week ago in San Francisco. 

Butterfield, 16, is the only child of two Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, Slack co-founder Stewart Butterfield and Flickr founder Caterina Fake. 

The 16-year-old, who uses they/them pronouns, vanished from their mother’s home in affluent Bolinas, on April 21, before Fake reported them missing the following day.

On Saturday evening, Marin County Sheriff’s Office said they had located Butterfield  safe in the California city after being found with an adult friend of hers. 

Detectives say they learned Butterfield was associating with a Christopher ‘Kio’ Dizefalo, 26, who was known to drive a white van. After tracking down the vehicle, officers found Butterfield inside.
