Despite a coordinated effort last weekend at Sloan’s Lake, the search for Jax Gratton, a trans woman missing in Denver since April, ended without new leads. Community members plan to resume their search this Saturday at a location that will be announced later this week. Individuals interested in helping with the search can join the Facebook Group "Find Jax Gratton Denver." Jax's mother, Cherilynne Gratton-Camis, said she is grateful to everyone who has helped spread the word of Gratton's disappearance and helped with the search. "I'm scared to death. and I need to keep people looking out for her and watching for her," Gratton-Camis said. Vinny Haugen, a senior park ranger with #Denver Parks and Recreation, volunteered for the May 10 search. For Haugen, the effort to find Gratton is deeply personal. “Any kind of LGBTQ issues that arise within the park system is very personal to me,” they said. “As a queer individual, I understand all of the nuances of existing in this world in which we're often told we aren't wanted. And I think it's really important to show up and show out and say, 'You are wanted. We want you here.'” (fb)
