Fifteen-year-old Isabella Hurlburt has been reported missing after she was last seen Jan. 22 near her home in John Tarleton Park in Knoxville. She is described as about 5 feet 4 inches tall and roughly 160 pounds and was last reported wearing a cream shirt and gray sweatpants.
On Jan. 27, East Tennessee Valley Crime Stoppers shared a missing-person flyer with Hurlburt’s description and last-seen details on Facebook. As posted by East Tennessee Valley Crime Stoppers, the flyer asks anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers and includes a photo to help with identification.
Where She Was Last Seen
The flyer lists Hurlburt’s last known location as the area near John Tarleton Park in west Knoxville, a neighborhood green space that connects to the Liberty Street Greenway. Per the City of Knoxville Parks and Recreation page, John Tarleton Park sits off Division Street and is used for walking, recreation, and community events. With its trails and greenway access, the park’s layout can make canvassing the area more complicated for searchers and volunteers.
