In Gresham, Oregon, a family experienced distressing moments when 12-year-old Zarate Aden was no longer in his home on April 19, 2025. The young American Indian / Alaska Native boy, with brown hair and brown eyes, stood between five feet four and five feet six inches tall. His disappearance followed a disagreement with his mother concerning a video game. When his mother woke from a nap a couple of hours later, she discovered that Zarate was gone from their residence. The initial hours of his absence were filled with uncertainty. His mother thought he might have made his way to his aunt's home in the nearby city of Portland. However, it was not immediately clear if he had reached his aunt's residence or if he was staying somewhere else in the area. The lack of communication from the young boy was a cause for significant concern for his family and the Gresham Police Department, who were tasked with the investigation. Fortunately, this story has a hopeful conclusion as Zarate Aden has since been found alive. While the specifics regarding the date and the circumstances of his recovery are not widely known, the essential fact is that he is no longer considered a missing person. The case, which began with a simple childhood disagreement, highlights the vulnerability of youth and the anguish that families endure when a child disappears, but ultimately concludes with the positive outcome of a safe return.
