Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP20353) and 7 other sources
William Fred Patient III, commonly known as Billy, was last seen on May 5, 2013, in Juno Beach, Florida, when he was 16 years old. At the time of his disappearance, he was participating in an outing with other boys from The Academy, a residential treatment center for troubled teens. He was last observed floating in the ocean around 4:30 p.m. on that day. When the group returned to shore, Billy was missing, having left his clothes and wallet on the beach.

Billy was described as a Caucasian male, approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing around 145 pounds, with light brown hair and blue eyes. He had been receiving treatment for emotional problems and substance abuse issues, having experienced significant distress following the death of his father in 2012. After his disappearance, there was some activity on his Facebook account, leading his family to believe he may have left voluntarily. However, extensive searches conducted in the area did not yield any sign of him, and his case remains unsolved.

The circumstances surrounding Billy's disappearance are concerning, particularly given his mental health history and the nature of his last outing. Authorities are continuing to seek information from the public to help resolve this case, and the Juno Beach Police Department is the investigating agency.
