Friends are worried for the safety of Sarah Marie Petit, whom they haven’t heard from since fall 2020.
Sarah was last seen on Sept. 26, 2020, according to records with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation. Friends say in July 2020, she boarded on a bus in Denver, and traveled to live with her boyfriend in Wichita. She made it to town and was last seen near 48th Street North and Ridge Road. Supposedly, she was heading back to Denver, but nobody has seen or heard from her.
“The Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office and Sarah’s family are trying to locate Sarah,” the sheriff’s office said in a release in 2022. “Detectives want to hear from anyone with any information, no matter how insignificant it may seem.”
Sarah was 36 years old when she was reported missing, the KBI reports in its missing persons clearinghouse database. Sarah may also use the last name “Hart.”
