An autistic Havelock teen has still not been found two weeks after his family reported him missing, and a Facebook group set up by his mother called Help Find Logan to share information or sightings now has 7,400 members.
Logan is 18 years old, 5’6″ with a medium build, with short sandy brown hair and hazel eyes. He was last seen on Sunday, October 13 and there have been no confirmed sightings since.
“Logan has high functioning autism and some other mental health issues,” according to a Facebook post by his mother. “This is not the first time Logan has taken off but it’s usually only for 12-24 hrs and usually close by. He has been known to get lost sometimes while out. He may hide or run when seen. He does not have any social media or a cell phone.”
According to his mother, Logan is possibly wearing a grey zip-up hoodie and black winter boots.
Peterborough County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) issued a media release last Thursday (October 17) asking for the public’s help in finding Logan.
In her Facebook group, Logan’s mother notes that he may be hiding and asks people to check outbuildings, shelters, or abandoned buildings on their property.
“He may be anywhere by now,” she writes. “If he has made it to a town please keep an eye out in stores and near dumpsters.”
Logan’s mother also notes that he had around $30 in change on him when he went missing, but that “he doesn’t quite understand the value of that change.”
His mother also points out that some old posts may be circulating on social media referring to an incident two years ago, when Logan went missing on October 21, 2022 when he was 16 years old and was found the following day.
Anyone who has seen Logan or has any information about his whereabouts is asked to call Peterborough County OPP at 1-888-310-1122 and to mention reference number E241382910. To submit an anonymous tip, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or visit stopcrimehere.ca.
