Police interacted with him outside the party when they arrived. Adults ended the party when they realized alcohol had been brought. His parents notified police about disappearance at 3:30 am.

It is very sad. I don't understand the delay that occurred here. Either on this thread or the other thread about this states that one of his parents posted on the neighborhood list serv that he was missing. While it doesn't seem the find my friend was activated on his phone, a ping from it was from the location where he was found.


As the parent of a teenager who ran away for the first time recently, all I can say is that ther is no handbook telling you what to do. You do what you think is right and that’s the best you can do. It’s easy to Monday morning quarterback - hell, I’m still doing it from our situation. But you can’t blame the parents because they missed doing something. I doubt they had prior experience with this sort of thing.

Oh no. I did not mean to imply that I’m aby way. It sounds like they everything they could.

Is there speculation that this kid was a run away?
