The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office Investigations Division is asking for the public’s assistance locating Nadya Hayes.  She is 17 years old, 5’3”, weighing about 130 pounds, with dark brown hair and brown eyes.

On October 13, 2023, deputies responded to Nadya’s home on Jasper Drive in unincorporated El Paso County where her aunt reported her missing.  She was last seen the night before at 9:40 p.m. wearing a white t-shirt and green pajama pants.  On October 18, Nadya spoke to her aunt by phone but would not share her location.

Nadya has ties to the Denver area and family in Texas.  Though she has been in contact with her aunt, there are concerns about self-harm.

Detectives are asking for any information, to include contact with, or any sightings of Nadya you may have had since those dates.  Please contact the Sheriff’s Office tip line at 719-520-7777 with any information.  A photograph of Nadya is attached to this release.

Case number 23-11978
