The Jackson County Sheriff’s Department is asking the public for help locating 16-year-old Holden McKelroy, who has been reported missing by his family, the department said.
Investigators describe McKelroy as about 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing 165 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing black sweatpants and a black-and-white sweatshirt, the department said.
Anyone with information about McKelroy’s whereabouts is asked to contact their local law enforcement agency. Those who wish to remain anonymous may submit a tip to Crime Stoppers through the P3 Tips app or by calling Crime Stoppers, the department said.
Crime Stoppers posts runaway and missing juvenile information as a public service, and rewards are not offered unless an arrest is made in a related criminal case, the post said. This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
