On the frigid morning of February 16, 2025, 15-year-old Laroy Warner left his home on Quasar Drive in Fairbanks, Alaska, at approximately 6:07 AM, as captured by home surveillance footage. Dressed in dark pants and a brown leather jacket, Laroy stepped into the cold and vanished without a trace. His disappearance has since become a focal point in the community's ongoing concerns about missing persons, particularly among Alaska Native youth.
Laroy's sudden disappearance prompted swift action from the Alaska State Troopers. A missing persons report was filed the same day, and the case was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System under case number MP142461. Despite these efforts, there have been no significant leads or developments in the case. Authorities have not released information suggesting foul play, but the lack of evidence has left many questions unanswered.
Before his disappearance, Laroy was an active member of his community and school. He participated in high school wrestling, competing in the 160 and 171-pound weight classes.

Laroy's involvement in sports highlighted his dedication and potential, making his disappearance all the more poignant.
Laroy's case is not isolated. Fairbanks has experienced a troubling number of missing persons cases, particularly involving Alaska Native individuals. In 2020, 41 people were reported missing to the Fairbanks Police Department, with only one person, Debbie Nictune, remaining unaccounted for. The following year, 39 people were reported missing, with all cases resolved. However, the pattern of disappearances has raised alarms within the community....Read More
