UPDATE: She was found safe today.
OTTER LAKE, Michigan – Authorities and family members are urgently seeking the public’s help in locating 19-year-old Sasha Newell, who has been reported missing.
Sasha was last seen on August 30, 2025, at approximately 2:00 p.m. at the Dollar General on Otter Lake Road in Otter Lake, Michigan.
At the time, she was wearing a blue shirt and carrying a distinctive Woody backpack from Toy Story.
Although Sasha is 19 years old, her family reports that she functions at the level of a 14-year-old and lives with certain disabilities.
While she is considered high-functioning, loved ones say she is very trusting of others, which makes her especially vulnerable.
Her disappearance has left her family devastated. In an emotional plea, her mother urged the community: “Please don’t forget my daughter’s face.”
Anyone who may have seen Sasha or has information regarding her whereabouts is urged to contact local law enforcement immediately.
