MIGUEL SANCHEZ - 11 yo - Sacramento CA

By Dep. Jason Ramos, Sacramento County Sheriff's Office


The Sheriff’s Department is seeking the public’s assistance in
locating an 11 year-old child who went missing from a group home in the
9800 block of Fair Oaks Boulevard earlier this morning.


Miguel Sanchez, 11, was last seen at about 9:30 a.m. today by staff
members at the facility. He is considered at-risk due to his age.

Miguel is of Hispanic descent and is 5’ tall, weighing about 120 lbs.
He was last seen wearing a grey shirt, grey jeans, and white tennis shoes.
Deputies are attempting to obtain a recent photograph of Miguel, but
none are currently available.

Anyone knowing the whereabouts of this missing child is asked to call the Sheriff’s Department at (916) 874-5115.

The search for Miguel Sanchez, the 11-year-old boy who went missing from his Fair Oaks Group home Tuesday morning, appears to have already reached an impasse, said Sacramento County Sheriff's Department spokesman Jason Ramos.


With no promising leads the department has scaled back its search for
Sanchez, Ramos explained; however, the deputy said it remains likely
the boy will be located. Given the 11-year-old’s limited means, Sanchez
will likely have to reach out to someone, Ramos said.


"He doesn’t have the means to sustain himself,” Ramos said.


Without money for food or transportation, Sanchez will likely reach
out to someone for help at which point, Ramos is hopeful that “someone”
will reach out to the proper authorities.


Sanchez, who isn’t from Fair Oaks, let alone Sacramento, won’t be
familiar with the area either, Ramos said, which could prove useful in
the investigation. The boy’s parents were notified about his
disappearance, but it doesn’t seem likely the boy would head in their
direction, Ramos said.


Ramos could not elaborate as to where the boy’s parents live or their involvement in the investigation.


Since the boy left on his own accord, it remains a mystery which way
Sanchez was heading and without a public sighting, Ramos said, it
remains a search for a needle in a haystack.


Sanchez was last seen at approximately 9:30 a.m. Tuesday by staff
members at the 9800 block Fair Oaks Boulevard group where he has been
staying. He is considered at-risk due to his age.


Ramos added Sanchez is subject to violent outbursts, and should not be alone in the company of other young children.


Miguel is of Hispanic descent and is 5’ tall, weighing approximately
120 pounds. He was last seen wearing a grey shirt, grey jeans, and white
tennis shoes.


Anyone knowing the whereabouts of this missing child is asked to call the Sheriff’s Department at (916) 874-5115.
