JEREMIAH "Jeremy" K COOK - 16 yo - Norwalk (S of Sandusky) OH

Call it grandmother's intuition, but Ellen Kreeger thinks
"something's not right" for her teenage grandson to be gone so long.
Jeremiah "Jeremy" K. Cook, 16, was last seen about 4 p.m. June 10 at
Kreeger's, 5 Manahan Ave. home."He left and he never came back," said Kreeger, who has had custody of
the boy for the last three years.
"He went to hang out with his friends," she said. "I told him 'no' and I
turn around and he's gone."



The boy was last seen wearing navy blue shorts with a white stripe on
the side and a light gray t-shirt with an Element skateboard design. He
also had on high-top purple and turquoise Nike sneakers.
The boy is 5-feet 5-inches tall and weighs about 100 pounds. He has blue
eyes and blond hair that goes to the top of his shoulders. His right
bang hangs over his right eye.
Kreeger said she's contacted her grandson's parents, Melissa Beck and
Jeremy R. Cook, both of Sandusky, but they haven't heard anything from him.
"This is really abnormal behavior," Kreeger said.
"This is abnormal behavior for him. Something's not right ... because
he's never taken off. This is just not him," she added.
The grandmother suspects one of her grandson's friends knows where he
is. Kreeger said she's talked to several of his friends, but they've
said they haven't seen him.
Kreeger informed Norwalk Police Officer Kenneth Stiert about her missing
grandson on June 10. The officer searched two places where he thought
the boy might be, but didn't find him, Capt. Mike Conney said.
"Apparently he didn't like how things were going and took off," Conney
said about the boy's disappearance.
Since Kreeger said she hasn't gotten any feedback from police, she has
been asking multiple people about Jeremy and driving through the area looking for him.
"I've basically been doing everything myself," she said.
Anyone with information about the whereabouts of Jeremiah "Jeremy" K.
Cook is encouraged to call the Norwalk Police Department at (419) 663-6780 or (419) 668-3311.

A 16-year-old Norwalk boy, missing since June 10, turned himself into
Norwalk police Thursday evening.
Jeremy Cook turned himself in at the station about 6:45 p.m., Capt.
Eric Hipp said Friday.

"He told the officer he had been bouncing
around from friend to friend for a place to stay," Hipp added.

Hipp
said Cook was then arrested as the Huron County Sheriff's Office had an
active warrant on Cook for a probation violation.

Cook had been
staying at the Manahan Avenue home of his grandmother, Ellen Kreeger,
when he was last seen at 4 p.m. June 10.

Cook was transferred
Thursday to the Erie County Juvenile Justice Center.
On Friday, the boy was in Huron County Juvenile Court for a
detention hearing, where Judge Timothy Cardwell ordered Cook to remain
in detention in Erie County.

Kreeger, during the hearing, said
she could not provide adequate supervision of her grandson at this time.
Kreeger has had custody of Cook for about three years.

"This
case is pending further hearing," said Chris Mushett, the juvenile court
administrator, afterward.

Chief Dave Light said previously Cook
was angry that he had to baby-sit some younger children and couldn't
hang out with his friends, so he left.

Cook was the third of
three runaway hearings held Friday in juvenile court. His hearing was
held after Kimberly Crigger's, of New London, and Abbi Obermiller's, of
North Fairfield.
