Joshua Allen Johnson was a 17-year-old from the Williamsburg, Kentucky area whose name appeared in public missing-person records after he was reported missing in Whitley County. NamUs lists him as Joshua Allen Johnson, a white male with brown hair and blue eyes, missing from Williamsburg, Kentucky, with a date of last contact recorded as June 3, 2023.
The NamUs case identifies the investigating agency as the Whitley County Sheriff’s Office and lists the case as MP110933, with Joshua’s physical description recorded as approximately 6 feet to 6 feet 4 inches tall and about 140 to 150 pounds.
The account provided in the case data says the reporting party returned home with Joshua on June 2, 2023, at approximately 9:00 p.m., and that Joshua went to bed at about 9:30 p.m. When the reporting party woke the next morning, June 3, Joshua was no longer in his room and could not be located. At the time, he was described as having bushy, curly brown hair above his ears, sideburns, a light mustache, and blue eyes. Identifying marks included a thin scar on his left eyebrow and a burn scar on his right wrist. He was reportedly wearing a pink cut-off T-shirt, blue jeans, boots, and a Bass Pro hat.
A local report from The News Journal describes an earlier public appeal by the Whitley County Sheriff’s Department for help locating a missing teenager named Joshua Johnson, age 17, from the Louden/Gatliff area. That report said Joshua had last been seen on June 1, 2023, at 2:30 p.m., wearing blue jeans, a Bass Pro hat, and a dark-colored short-sleeve shirt. The same article was later updated to say that the Whitley County Sheriff’s Department announced at 3:30 p.m. on June 2, 2023, that the missing juvenile had been located.
Because that local update states that the missing juvenile was located, the case should be understood with care and compassion as one in which Joshua was publicly reported missing and then reported found by local authorities. The exact relationship between the June 1 and June 3 date entries is not fully explained in the public sources, and the information is vague in that respect. The most careful overview is that Joshua Allen Johnson, a 17-year-old from the Williamsburg area of Whitley County, was the subject of a missing-person report in early June 2023; public records describe the circumstances of his absence from home and his identifying details, while a local news update reported that the Whitley County Sheriff’s Department later announced the missing juvenile had been located.Last Seen: Jun 3, 2023
