Investigators thought the girl might be in Colorado.

In November 2020, Daphne Westbrook was seen in the Denver area. Last month, Westbrook spent several weeks in the Pueblo area, according to the district attorney’s office on the case.

They said John Oliver Westbrook kidnapped his daughter, Daphne, in October 2019.

Daphne disappeared from Chattanooga, along with her dogs, Fern and Strawberry, after failing to return home from a weekend visit with her dad.
