FALLBROOK, CA — A Feather Alert was issued Wednesday for a missing teenager from the Pala Indian Reservation in northern San Diego County.

• UPDATE: Missing Teen Last Seen On Pala Indian Reservation Found Safe

Sunnie Eagleton, 17, ran away around 2 p.m. Saturday from the home she was staying at on the reservation, east of the community of Fallbrook, according to the San Diego County Sheriff's Office.

Sunnie ran away because she did not want to go back to Texas with her family, according to the sheriff's office. The California Highway Patrol issued the alert Wednesday on behalf of the sheriff's office after the teen's mother reported her missing. Because Sunnie has no history of running away, she is considered to be at-risk, authorities said.

Sunnie is Native American, around 5 feet, 2 inches tall and weighs about 130 pounds, with long red straight hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a gray shirt, black shorts and a black/pink handbag or backpack, according to the sheriff's office.

Anyone who has any information about Sunnie was asked to call the sheriff's office dispatch at 858-868-3200.

The Feather Alert is a tool used by law enforcement agencies to help find missing Indigenous people.
