Missing teen: 16-year-old boy in blue hoodie
Description
Hey, I’m Amina Yusuf, and I’m really worried—my 16-year-old nephew Omar went missing yesterday evening. Last seen around 7:15pm walking north on Main Street toward Riverfront Park, near the Dow Event Center in downtown Saginaw. He’s about 5'7", slim, with short black hair. He was wearing a blue hoodie with a white star, gray jeans, and red sneakers, and he had a bright red backpack with a panda patch. He also wears black rectangular glasses and has a small scar above his left eyebrow. If you’ve seen him or know where he is, please email me at [email protected]. He’s loved and missed, and any information could help bring him home quickly.

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.
