Search Continues For Missing Teenager

Perry County - Multiple police agencies and first responders are still searching for a 19-year-old male who goes by Nick. Nick has been missing from Anderson Woods since yesterday, June 2, at approximately 4:00 PM. Nick was last known to be wearing a light blue T-shirt, black and pink swimming trunks, and white tennis shoes. Nick is autistic with limited verbal skills. Nick has black hair, brown eyes, 5-10, 220 pounds, with facial hair, and is of Indian descent. Law Enforcement asks that anyone wishing to assist in searching for the young teen avoid the area due to multiple search and rescue teams already in the area. We are also asking neighboring property owners to check their property, vehicles, and any outbuildings. If located or any information can be relayed to Central Dispatch at 812-547-7068 or 911.
