Traceton Turner was 16 years old when public missing-child notices reported him missing from Long Beach, California. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children listed him as a missing child, identifying him as male, 16 years old, and missing since September 28, 2025, with Long Beach, California, given as the location connected to the report.
The NCMEC notice also listed NCIC number M498635010 and NCMEC case number 2063915, placing his case within the formal missing-child alert system and giving the public official reference points for any information that might help. In the first stage of the case, the available public information was brief but serious: a teenager was missing, his name and photographs were being circulated, and the community was being asked to pay attention.
Public notices described Traceton as a white male with blond hair and blue eyes, and the alert materials emphasized that both photos being shown were of him. One of the few location-specific details released was that he may travel to Orizaba Park in Long Beach, California. That detail gave the search a more focused local dimension, especially for people familiar with Long Beach, the area around Orizaba Park, nearby streets, parks, youth gathering places, transit routes, and neighborhoods where someone may have seen him. The Stop Child Abuse missing-child alert repeated the same essential information and urged anyone with knowledge of Traceton’s whereabouts, or any other detail connected to the case, to come forward, stressing that even information that seemed small could matter.
The public appeal in Traceton’s case was centered on recognition, safety, and getting information to the right authorities. NCMEC listed the Long Beach Police Department as the local law enforcement agency connected to the case, with the department’s phone number published as 562-435-6711, while NCMEC also listed its 24-hour call center at 1-800-843-5678. Those details show how the case moved beyond a private family concern and became a public missing-child alert, asking strangers, neighbors, and anyone who may have crossed paths with Traceton to help by contacting official channels. The tone of the alerts reflected the urgency that comes whenever a child is missing, but the information released was also limited, leaving the public record focused mainly on his identity, the date and place he was reported missing, his description, the possibility that he might go to Orizaba Park, and the agencies asking for tips.
A later public post from One Way Hope stated that 16-year-old Traceton Turner had been safely located. The exact date of that resolution is not clear from the limited public information available, so the safest way to describe the update is that his case is no longer an active missing-person case based on that public notice, and that he was reported to have been found alive. No further public details about the circumstances of where he was found, who located him, or how the case was resolved were available in the accessible notices reviewed. Out of respect for Traceton’s privacy as a minor, the most important confirmed update is that the public search ended with him safely located.
In overview, Traceton Turner’s case began as a missing-child alert involving a 16-year-old boy from Long Beach, California, reported missing on September 28, 2025, with official notices circulated by NCMEC and child-safety organizations. The alerts identified him, shared his description and photographs, noted that he may travel to Orizaba Park in Long Beach, and asked anyone with information to contact NCMEC or the Long Beach Police Department. The case later shifted from an active search to a resolved missing-person case after a public update stated that Traceton had been safely located, though the exact date and detailed circumstances of that outcome remain unclear in the available public record.Last Seen: Sep 28, 2025
