Janelle Wales, 39, went missing from her Brighton, Colorado home in autumn 2023. Her last known whereabouts were at home; she was never seen or heard from again. All of her essential belongings — including her vehicle, phone, and purse — were left behind, and there has been no activity on her accounts since her disappearance.

Described as having long, thick, wavy brown hair and light brown eyes that could look hazel in the light, Janelle wore prescription eyeglasses, had a linear scar on her right knee, ear piercings and possibly a nose piercing, and often wore a silver chain with a Hershey’s kiss charm. The Brighton Police Department opened an investigation and has followed leads, but the trail has gone cold.

If anyone in Brighton or the surrounding area remembers seeing Janelle, her car, or anything unusual around the time she vanished, please contact the Brighton Police Department with any information.
