An Amber Alert was issued Wednesday after Raeanna Rosencrans , 12, went missing.
Police say Rosencrans was last seen willingly getting into a green “boxy” sedan in the area of D 1/2 Road and Larry’s Meadow Drive at around 3 p.m. after she was dropped off by a school bus. That vehicle was later located in Rifle.
On Thursday, police said their investigation led them to identify Rosencrans’s stepfather, Jody Haskin, 47, as a person of interest in the girl’s disappearance. Haskin does not have any parental rights, police said.
Haskin has an active warrant for his arrest on 12 counts of felony charges related to sexual assault of children stemming from 2006 incidents, according to court records. In addition to the 12 counts, the warrant also carries three sentence enhancers for habitual sex offenses.
The warrant was issued out of Mesa County in February, but court records indicate Haskin was never arrested. The counts include sex assault on a child – pattern of abuse, incest and sex assault on a child by one in a position of trust.
Haskin is described as a white man, about six feet tall and weighing 215 pounds, balding with brown eyes and glasses.
Rosencrans is 5-foot-1, weighs 135 pounds and has blue eyes and light brown/dark blonde hair.
She was last seen wearing black jeans and a black tank top with white highlights around the neck, black Adidas shoes, and a black and white backpack with a southwest design, according to police.
Authorities said it’s not clear how Haskin may be traveling but he’s not believed to be in the Grand Junction area any longer.
Anyone with information on this case should call 911.
