UPDATE: Boulder Police announced Chloe Campbell was found safe at a home in Thornton, Colorado, and was taken to a hospital for medical evaluation.
BOULDER, Colo. (TCD) -- Police are asking the public for help in locating a missing 14-year-old girl who was last seen at her high school football game with some "older" and "sketchy"-looking men.
According to the Boulder Police Department, Chloe Campbell went missing Friday, Sept. 30. Some of her friends reportedly received messages from her saying she was "safe with a 'family' in Arizona and does not want to return home."
Police, however, "have been unable to confirm if these messages are, in fact, from Chloe or true."
Chloe’s father, David Campbell, told KDVR-TV that the alleged messages from Chloe are "suspicious" because "we do not have family in Arizona."
Boulder Police said Chloe’s disappearance does not meet the criteria needed to issue an Amber Alert, but detectives are "growing increasingly concerned about the teen’s safety, as it is believed that she has no access to money or her medication."
Investigators reportedly believe Chloe might be with an adult male. David said his family became "very concerned" when she did not come home from school on Sept. 30 and he learned she was seen with two older men at lunchtime at Boulder High School. She was also reportedly seen with them at the school’s football game that evening.
David told KDVR, "These men were described as being sketchy and too old to be high school students."
CBS Colorado reports David and his family received a photo of Chloe from an unknown Snapchat handle, and David said the teen "looked injured and unwell."
Chloe’s mother called for her safe return, saying, "We love you so much. You are not in trouble. If you can come home please do and if you can't, we will not stop until we find you."
