Police said, "Investigators have received some information from friends who appear to have been in contact with Chloe, and there have been a few reported sightings of her in and around the Boulder area. However, no one in her family has spoken with Chloe since Sept. 30. Friends have received messages that they believe could be from Chloe saying she is safe with a 'family' in Arizona and does not want to return home, but family and police have been unable to confirm if these messages are, in fact, from Chloe or true."
While an AMBER Alert has not been issued as of now, authorities were concerned for her well-being. "It is believed that she has no access to money or her medication. She may be with an adult male," stated the police. David confirmed that neither he nor Knape has had any contact with her since her disappearance. He said, "The communications that we’ve received through third parties that purport to be from Chloe originate in a Snapchat handle that we’re not familiar with. It could be anybody."
Campbell's family has been sharing updates regarding the case via a public Google document. The teen is "still missing" as per the update shared on October 9, with the family stating that they "remain gravely concerned that she may be being trafficked and is not able to voluntarily come home."
