MISSING from Anchorage, Alaska. Mason was last seen at 6:00am in the 14000 block of Venus Way in Ocean View. When Mason left home he was intoxicated and broke his phone. He has no ID, no money, no bank card etc. Search efforts and a police investigation are currently active.
Mason is a spirited 16-year-old with a passion for gaming. From Rainbow Six Siege to Valorant and Roblox, he dives into virtual worlds with enthusiasm. Despite his youth, Mason is set to enter 11th grade, having breezed through his 10th grade curriculum and poised to graduate a year ahead of schedule.
Beyond his gaming prowess, Mason's intelligence shines brightly, hinting at the promising future he holds. But it's not all pixels and screens for Mason; he finds solace and excitement in the outdoors, particularly while salmon fishing on the Kenai River, a skill he's honed alongside his father.
Family vacations to Maui provide moments of pure joy for Mason and his loved ones, where he revels in the sun and surf, showcasing his impressive swimming skills in the ocean. However, amidst his zest for life, there lies a tender heart marked by tragedy. Mason's older brother, Caleb, passed away in 2015, leaving an indelible imprint on him and his family, shaping his perspective on life and loss.
Mason leaves home after he was caught drinking. As he walks away he is visibly upset and breaks his phone.
During the first few days, we went door-to-door acquiring information and security footage of Mason. We were able to see that he had gone down our street then turned right. At that point there was no other footage.
We were able to access some social media and gaming accounts, Discord, Snapchat, Rainbow Six Siege, Valorant, and Roblox. This produced some information leading us to communicate with the last people to talk with him. They have not heard from him since May 18th.
We blanketed our area with flyers, and since have expanded our flyers to areas in close proximity to Anchorage, as well as some flyers in the Mat-Su and Kenai Peninsula regions.
We had two certified drone operators pilot the wooded, coastal area near our home, with nothing sighted.
Community searches took place using Cabelas in South Anchorage as our meeting spot. The community hung flyers, went door to door and engaged the public to spread awareness for Mason's disappearance.
In the second week of his disappearance, we were able to get local Search and Rescue, with six teams of dogs to search the large wooded, coastal areas near our home. The dogs found nothing and no scent to track.
At this point there have been numerous reports of people that resemble him, but after making contact with many of them, we still have not located Mason.
You are so LOVED and MISSED. There is nothing that we can not work through together as a family!
