Thomas Gunner LaForge was publicly listed as a missing child after being reported missing from Wichita, Kansas. Online missing-person listings identify him as a 17-year-old male and state that he was last seen on February 7, 2026. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children lists his case under poster number 2077216 and NCIC number M188805179, asking the public to call 911 or submit a tip if they have information that may help locate him.
The available public information about Thomas’s disappearance is limited, but the details that have been released place the beginning of the case in Wichita, a city in Sedgwick County and the largest city in Kansas. No widely available online source reviewed provides a detailed account of where in Wichita he was last seen, who he may have been with, what clothing he was wearing, or what circumstances immediately surrounded the moment he disappeared. In cases involving a missing teenager, that absence of public detail can be especially difficult for family, friends, and community members, because every small fact may matter and every hour of uncertainty can feel heavy. What is publicly clear is that Thomas was still a minor when he went missing, and his case was circulated through missing-child alert networks so that more people could recognize his name and understand that help from the public may be important.
The case information that is available points people with knowledge to the Wichita Police Department in Kansas. Missing-person listings connected to Thomas’s case direct anyone with information to contact Wichita Police at 1-316-268-4111, while the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children poster also emphasizes calling 911 or submitting a tip. That means the official path for a possible sighting, a remembered conversation, a social-media clue, or any other relevant detail is through law enforcement or NCMEC rather than through speculation. The public record does not show an online case narrative with confirmed explanations, so the responsible story of Thomas’s disappearance remains a careful one: a 17-year-old boy from Wichita was reported missing, his information was entered into national missing-child systems, and authorities asked the public to help.
As of the online sources reviewed, Thomas Gunner LaForge’s public case entry does not provide a confirmed resolution or a detailed timeline beyond his name, age, sex, missing date, missing city and state, NCMEC poster number, NCIC number, and the Wichita Police Department contact information. The exact date of any later development is unknown, and the public information is vague. The compassionate overview of the case is this: Thomas LaForge, a 17-year-old male, was last seen in Wichita, Kansas, on February 7, 2026; his case was circulated by national missing-child resources under NCMEC case number 2077216 and NCIC number M188805179; and anyone who knows something that could help explain where he went or what happened is urged to contact 911, NCMEC, or the Wichita Police Department at 1-316-268-4111.Last Seen: Feb 7, 2026
