16 year old Victoria Thompson and her dog Comanche have been found safe. The Tuscola County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that Victoria Thompson and her dog were located alive, but did not release further details about where they were found or their condition.
Richfield Township Police said that Thompson was found in the area of North Irish Road and East Mt. Morris Road in Richfield Township, about 13 miles away from her home. Someone in the area spotted her and called 911.
Thompson disappeared from her home in Millington, Michigan on August 23, 2025. She disappeared after leaving home with her dog in the early morning hours.
The Disappearance of Victoria Thompson
Around 2:00 am on August 23, 2025, Victoria Thompson left her home on Arbela Road in Millington, Michigan.
She left with her dog (named Commanche, pictured above), a pink backpack with school clothes, her ID, a teddy bear, and $27. She hasn’t been seen or heard from since.
The teddy bear Victoria was carrying is made from her late grandmother’s clothing; it is purple with white swirls and button eyes. Her dog was wearing training and blue-colored collars.
Tori is on the autism spectrum, and functions at a 12 year old level. She has asthma and left without her phone or any medication.
Her family is extremely worried, as she’s never wandered off before.
“You’re not going to be in trouble and if someone says you’re going to be in trouble don’t believe them. Mom wants you, mom misses you.” Victoria’s sister Alexis Thompson said.
Investigation
Around 2:30 am on August 23, police received a 911 call from a person who heard a woman screaming around Vassar and Farrand Roads, southwest of Millington. A search of the area turned up nothing.
Multiple searches with drones and K9s have been conducted in the area where Victoria was last seen, but have been unable to find any clues as to her whereabouts. It’s possible she may have been picked up by a vehicle.
Police took possession of Victoria’s phone and are looking into whether she was communicating with anyone.
