In a recent development, the teenage child of former Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has been located safely after running away from home. The Marin County Sheriff's Office confirmed on Sunday that 16-year-old Mint Butterfield was found in San Francisco at 11:30 p.m. local time on Saturday.

Mint was reported missing on the morning of April 22, after being last seen at home in Bolinas, California, on April 21. Bolinas is located approximately 30 miles northwest of San Francisco. Intensive efforts were made to locate Mint, as they were listed as an at-risk missing person.

San Francisco police discovered Mint in a white van that belonged to Christopher "Kio" Dizefalo, a 26-year-old individual considered to be an "adult friend" of Mint's. The sheriff's office revealed that Mint and Dizefalo were associated, prompting detectives to recover Mint and interview Dizefalo.

During the investigation, it was determined that Mint had voluntarily run away from home. Fortunately, Mint was found unharmed and has since been reunited with their family. The sheriff's office did not disclose the specific criminal violations that led to Dizefalo's arrest, only stating that he was booked in the Marin County Jail with bail set at $50,000.

The case garnered significant attention as Stewart Butterfield, the child's parent, is a well-known figure in the tech world. However, no further details regarding the reasons behind Mint's decision to run away have been disclosed at this time.

The swift resolution to this distressing situation brings relief to Mint's loved ones, who poured continuous efforts into locating the teenager. The success of this operation reinforces the significance of timely reporting and collaborative efforts between law enforcement agencies.

As investigations continue, authorities hope to gain further insights into the circumstances surrounding Mint's disappearance and the nature of their relationship with Dizefalo.
