Lexie Mitchell, 17, was last seen at her home in the small community of Cunot in Poland, Indiana, around 11:30 a.m. or 12 p.m. on Tuesday, March 31, 2026. She is described as a white female with long red or auburn hair and blue-green eyes. At the time she went missing she was wearing blue jeans, a white windbreaker-style jacket, and possibly white boots.

The Owen County Sheriff’s Office initially treated the case as a runaway juvenile. As days passed without contact, the investigation widened: the Indiana State Police joined local authorities, and the FBI’s Indianapolis office became involved in early April 2026. Family and community members have been sharing her photo and information while law enforcement follows leads and asks the public to come forward.

Anyone with information about Lexie’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Owen County Sheriff’s Office or the Indiana State Police Putnamville Post. Did anyone in the Cunot or Poland area see Lexie on March 31 or have recent information about where she might be?
