DENVER, Colorado — Jax Gratton, a 34-year-old hairstylist, has been missing since April 15, 2025, after leaving her University Hills apartment in the 4200 block of East Iliff Avenue around 10:00 p.m. As of May 1, 2025, the Denver Police Department continues to investigate her disappearance, with growing concern from her family and community after she missed client appointments and left behind essential items.
Jax is described as 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing 150 pounds, with blue eyes and pink hair fading to blonde. She was last seen wearing a dark-striped shirt and a jacket, carrying bags. She has numerous tattoos, though specific details about them were not provided. Notably, Jax left without her makeup, vital medication, and her beloved cat, Madame Francesca—actions her loved ones say are completely out of character. Her mother, Cherilynne Gratton-Camis, emphasized that Jax is very close with her family, never missing holiday or birthday calls, making her silence since Easter deeply alarming.
The circumstances of Jax’s departure raise serious questions. She told her roommate she’d be gone for about three hours but never returned, and her failure to arrange care for her cat or take her medication suggests she may not have planned to be away long. As a transgender woman who has faced challenges but remained active in Denver’s LGBTQ+ community, including attending Rainbow Alley as a youth, her sudden disappearance is particularly concerning. Posts on X reflect widespread community worry, with friends like Brandy Carey, a manager at Solera Salon Suites where Jax rents a suite, leading efforts to distribute flyers. However, the lack of concrete leads two weeks later—despite the Denver Police Department’s ongoing investigation—raises concerns about whether initial response efforts were thorough enough, especially given the absence of details about who she might have been meeting.
If you have any information about Jax Gratton’s whereabouts, please contact the Denver Police Department at 720-913-2000 or call 911. Even the smallest detail could be crucial in ensuring her safe return.
The Denver community remains united in hope. Let’s keep sharing Jax’s story to help bring her home.
