Missing person: Liam Carter, 24, blue jacket
Description
I'm Amina Okafor, Liam Carter's sister. I lost my brother yesterday around 3:15pm after we split up near the Fairbanks Arts Association on Cushman Street. He's about 5 feet 10 inches tall, with sandy-blond hair kept short and a light stubble. He was wearing a blue North Face puffer jacket, dark jeans, and a gray beanie, and he carries a black backpack with a red patch on the zipper. He has a small scar above his left eyebrow and wears a silver hoop earring in his left ear. He was last seen in the Depot District and near Fred Meyer on College Road in Fairbanks. If anyone sees him, please contact me immediately; we're really worried and he means the world to our family.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
