Joseph Simmons was a 15-year-old boy who was reported missing from Glendale, Arizona, after he was last seen on September 4, 2025. Public missing-child records identify Joseph as male and White, with brown hair and blue eyes. An online missing-child listing also records his date of birth as April 6, 2010, meaning he had turned 15 only a few months before he disappeared.
His case was circulated as a missing-child alert, with authorities and organizations seeking information from anyone who might know where he had gone or what had happened after he was last seen. The publicly available records located for Joseph’s case do not provide a specific Glendale address or intersection where he was last observed, nor do they identify the time of day, what clothing he was wearing, whether he was traveling on foot or in a vehicle, or whether anyone was known to have been with him. Those missing details leave much of the story surrounding his disappearance outside the public record, but the information that was released was sufficient for his name and photograph to be distributed in an effort to bring the teenager home safely.
As the search continued, Joseph’s disappearance was publicized through missing-child organizations that directed information to the Glendale Police Department. Members of the public who knew anything about Joseph’s whereabouts were urged to contact Glendale police at 623-930-3000, and information could also be provided through the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST. The public notices emphasized that even information that might initially appear unimportant could potentially assist those trying to locate him. Beyond his basic identifying information, however, very little about the circumstances preceding his disappearance appears to have been released publicly. The available alerts do not describe a suspected abduction, identify a person of interest, disclose a known destination Joseph may have been attempting to reach, or state that foul play was suspected. They likewise do not publicly explain whether investigators believed he had voluntarily left his residence or whether another circumstance led to him being reported missing. Because Joseph was only 15, his absence nevertheless prompted the circulation of a missing-child notice and an appeal for assistance locating him.
The available online record eventually changed in an important and welcome way. Missing No More, which had originally posted Joseph’s information on September 10, 2025, later updated its listing and marked Joseph as “FOUND.” The page shows that update associated with April 24, 2026, indicating that the search for him was no longer being presented there as an active missing-person effort. The source does not explain precisely when Joseph was located, where he was found, who located him, how long he had actually remained missing, or the circumstances that led to his recovery. It also does not report that he was deceased, and the case is presented simply as a successful recovery. Because those details have not been publicly disclosed in the sources located, they should not be assumed or reconstructed from speculation. What can be established from the public record is that Joseph Simmons was a 15-year-old Glendale boy who disappeared after being last seen on September 4, 2025, prompting missing-child alerts and requests for information from the community; after a period in which his whereabouts were publicly unknown, his case was subsequently updated to report that he had been found. His case therefore began as the troubling disappearance of a young teenager with few publicly released clues and ultimately ended with the encouraging news that Joseph was located, although the details of how his disappearance was resolved remain private or unavailable in the public sources reviewed.Last Seen: Sep 4, 2025
