As information is coming in, KCSO established via video that Penelope was in the Rockford area near the White Pine Trail about a week ago. Our detectives and patrol staff will be in the area looking for any new information. It does appear that she traveled from Cedar Springs to Rockford last week. We are now working on where she has gone since being in Rockford. We do not have information that any foul play has occurred at this time. We believe she intentionally walked away from home, but due to the length of time and no sightings KCSO and her family are concerned for her well-being. We are asking the community to please call the KCSO Investigative Division at 616-632-6125 or use the above tip line for any new information.
