Police searching for missing Federal Way teen

FEDERAL WAY, Wash. — A 16-year-old boy who suffers from a mild form of autism has been missing since Monday.



Federal Way police said his mother reported that her son, Nathan Duncan, did not come home from school.

School personnel said they talked to the boy Monday about the possible theft of a cellphone, and after his parents were notified, later heard him say he would not go home after school because of the possible consequences.

The same staff member saw Nathan riding a skateboard near Federal Way City Hall that afternoon.

According to his family, Nathan has run away from home several times before, but usually returns the same night.

He has been diagnosed with a mild form of autism but does not take medication.

Nathan is 5 feet 2 inches tall, 210 pounds, with green eyes and brown hair. He was last seen wearing jeans and a white shirt.

Anyone who sees the boy is asked to call Federal Way Police Detective M. Morikawa at 253-835-6725 or 911.

Federal Way police report sighting of missing autistic teen | UPDATE

A Federal Way teen with autism who has been missing for one week was apparently seen over the weekend.

Nathan Duncan, 16, was last seen by his teacher after
school on Monday, April 23, near City Hall, 33325 8th Ave. S. He was
riding a skateboard.

Federal Way police stepped up their search last week,
teaming up with investigators from the National Center for Missing and
Exploited Children.

"There have been credible 'sightings' of him by friends
that were reported to police, both in the Seattle and Auburn area over
the weekend," police spokeswoman Cathy Schrock wrote in a May 1 email
to The Mirror after receiving an update from the teen's mother. "We are
relieved by the news that he has been sighted, and our hope is to
ultimately re-unite him with his family."

The case will remain an active missing person case until police are able to contact Nathan.

Police responded to a call at 8 a.m. April 24 after the
teen's mother, Jennifer Duncan, reported that her son did not come home
from school the day before. Other family members were contacted, but
had not seen Nathan.

Police contacted personnel from Nathan's school, who
indicated that while at school on Monday, Nathan had been contacted
about a possible theft of a cellphone. His parents were notified about
the incident. School personnel told police they overheard Nathan say he
would not go home after school because of potential consequences,
according to police.

Nathan has run away several times before, but usually
returns the same night, according to police. He is not on any
medication. He was last seen wearing Levi jeans and a white shirt. He
is 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 210 pounds. He has green eyes and
brown hair.

Anyone with information on Nathan's whereabouts are asked
to contact Detective Morikawa at (253) 835-6725 or Madeline.Morikawa@cityoffederalway.com.
