Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP144122)
Kayden Thomas, a 13‑year‑old boy from Jacksonville, Florida, was last seen on May 19, 2025. He was described as Black, approximately 5′2″ tall, weighing between 120 and 130 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. On the day he disappeared, he was reportedly wearing a black hoodie, black pants, and grey Crocs. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office initiated an active missing-person investigation under case number 25‑288209, filing the report the same day.
They solicited assistance from the public and provided these identifying details.
JSO’s records from late June 2025 confirmed that the case remained open, with no indication yet of location or new leads.
Recently, authorities have announced that Kayden has been located. While the exact date of his recovery has not been provided, the announcement came through official channels indicating he is now safe. No additional details about the circumstances or condition in which he was found have been released.
This brings some closure to the ordeal: Kayden was missing for several weeks following his last confirmed sighting in mid‑May, and investigators, along with community members, remained diligent in efforts to locate him. No further information regarding how or where he was found has been disclosed, leaving those details vague.
At this time, thanks to investigative efforts by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and cooperation from the community, Kayden is no longer missing. If any future updates emerge—particularly regarding the specifics of his recovery—they are expected to be communicated by JSO through their standard public information channels.Last Seen: May 19, 2025
