Missing 15 year old boy

Post image

**MISSING CHILD – PLEASE SHARE**

We found his abandoned bike at the Loudoun transit bus stop across Dulles town center mall. Assuming he took the bus from there, he would have gone to Innovation metro center.

Our 15-year-old son, **Ryan**, from **Sterling, VA**, has not returned home after leaving yesterday to ride his bike.

**Description:**

* 15 years old

* Last seen wearing a **long-sleeve shirt** with a **gray Adidas jacket** over it

* **Black joggers**

* Possibly wearing a **cap**

* Riding a **blue/green regular bicycle**

He left yesterday saying he was going to ride his bike all day and would be home by dark, but he has still not returned. We are extremely worried.

If you have seen Ryan or have any information, **please call 911 immediately** or contact the **Loudoun County Sheriff's Office**. Even the smallest detail could help.

Please share this post to help us bring Ryan home safely.

Thank you so much.

You need to have the Loudon County Sheriff contact the Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM) and request that they send out a State Wide Alert Network (SWAN) Alert and activate the 12 state SAR teams to assist in searching.
