Garrett Koche Missing Person Case

Garrett Koche, a 13-year-old boy from Roanoke City, Virginia, was reported missing after he was last seen on January 30, 2026. Publicly searchable online sources reviewed for this account do not provide enough verified information to establish the exact circumstances surrounding his disappearance, including the precise location where he was last seen, what he was wearing, whether he was believed to have left voluntarily, or who first reported him missing. Searches of publicly indexed sources also did not locate a reliable official police statement, National Center for Missing & Exploited Children record, or other authoritative online report that adds confirmed details to the basic identifying information. Because of that limited public record, the circumstances leading up to his disappearance remain unclear.

The available information identifies Koche as a male juvenile and places the case in Roanoke City, Virginia, with January 30, 2026, established as his last-seen date. No dependable online source located during the research provided a confirmed timeline describing his movements after he was last observed, nor did the available results establish a specific destination, vehicle, companion, or other circumstance associated with his disappearance. It is therefore not possible to responsibly fill in those gaps with assumptions or unverified claims. The absence of additional publicly indexed information does not itself establish what happened to Koche; it simply means that the circumstances of the case are not sufficiently documented in the sources that could be independently verified.

The case remains notable because Koche was only 13 years old when he was last seen, making the circumstances surrounding his disappearance particularly concerning to those seeking information about his whereabouts. Publicly available search results reviewed for this synopsis did not reveal a confirmed resolution or an authoritative account explaining whether he was subsequently located. They likewise did not provide verified details concerning an investigation, search operation, sightings, or developments after the initial missing-person report. In the absence of such information, the most accurate account is necessarily limited to the confirmed identifying facts rather than speculation about where he may have gone or what may have occurred.

Taken as a whole, the case concerns the disappearance of 13-year-old Garrett Koche of Roanoke City, Virginia, who was last seen on January 30, 2026. The exact circumstances of his disappearance are not established by the publicly indexed sources reviewed, and significant details about the timeline, last known location, subsequent sightings, investigative activity, and eventual outcome could not be independently verified. The available record therefore presents a limited but important overview: a young boy was last seen in Roanoke City on January 30, 2026, after which his whereabouts became unknown, while publicly accessible authoritative information about the circumstances and progression of the case remains sparse.
