Gwen Elizabeth Bybee‑Norman, 15, was last seen on February 11, 2024, in the Spanaway area of Pierce County, Washington. She was described as five feet, three inches tall, about 150 pounds, with red or auburn hair and brown eyes. Her disappearance prompted a search by family and the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office.

Gwen’s mother reported a history of running away and stated she believed Gwen had run away this time as well. That history offers one possible explanation but does not reduce concern for a minor who has been out of contact. Reports do not include a known destination or companions at the time she left, which has complicated efforts to trace her movements.

The official investigation remains open as authorities seek information that could lead to her whereabouts. If anyone in the Spanaway area on or after February 11 saw Gwen, or knows where she might be, please contact the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office.
