In that message, she indicated she was staying at a “horse ranch” in Ault that had a horse named Cinnamon. Detectives are now seeking information from anyone who may know the property’s location or has had contact with Johnson.

- Green eyes
- Approximately 5 feet, 2 inches tall
- Weight between 100 and 125 pounds
- Thin build
- No known tattoos or distinguishing marks
Authorities said the description of her clothing at the time she was last seen is unknown.
The sheriff’s office is encouraging residents in the Ault area and throughout Northern Colorado to share information that could help locate Johnson or identify the horse ranch she referenced in her message.
