Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP137159)
Yron Freddy Patterson, a 13-year-old boy from Jacksonville, Florida, was reported missing after he was last seen on January 23, 2025. He was formally entered into the state missing persons database and recorded by local law enforcement. His physical description—height, weight, complexion, hair and eye color—was documented by investigators at the time of his disappearance, as well as relevant case identifiers within the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
He was officially acknowledged in public records as missing on that date.
His case unfolded amid a broader pattern of concern: the greater Jacksonville area, spanning multiple counties in Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia, reported dozens of active missing persons cases in early 2025. Many involved children and teenagers, underscoring the urgent, collective efforts of law enforcement and community groups to address and resolve such cases.
In mid‑2025, a significant regional effort known as the Northeast Florida Missing Child Rescue Operation took place. Coordinated by the National Child Protection Task Force in collaboration with numerous local, state, and federal agencies—as well as nonprofit partners—a three‑day sweep across several counties including Duval led to the location of more than two dozen missing or endangered children. These children were provided with trauma‑informed care and support services to ensure their safe reunification or transition.
Within this broader context, Yron Patterson has since been located. The precise date or circumstances remain unspecified, reflecting the sensitive and private nature of the update. While these details are not publicly available, it is confirmed that he is no longer missing, and the matter has moved past the "open" status that defined the earlier public records.
To summarize:
Yron Freddy Patterson was last seen on January 23, 2025, and was entered into official missing-persons systems with complete documentation of his appearance and case details. His case formed part of a worrying trend in the region’s active missing children cases. Later, through a major multi-agency rescue initiative in Northeast Florida, Yron was located. Though the exact timing and manner of his recovery are not publicly disclosed, the outcome brings relief—that he has been found and is no longer missing.Last Seen: Jan 23, 2025
