Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP155209)
In the quiet community of Winter Haven, Florida, the disappearance of 17-year-old Nicolas Pietrodangelo on February 10, 2026, sparked deep concern among his family and local authorities. The young man, a white male with brown hair and blue eyes, was last seen leaving his home on foot. At the time he went missing, he was wearing an orange shirt, black shorts, and white socks.
The Polk County Sheriff's Office was notified and promptly began an investigation into his whereabouts, entering his information into national databases for missing persons.
The circumstances surrounding Nicolas's departure were sparse, with official reports simply stating he "left home on foot." This lack of detailed information created a challenging situation for investigators and a painful void for his loved ones. Community members and online groups actively shared his description and the known details of his case, hoping to generate leads. His physical characteristics were widely circulated: standing at a height of 5 feet 7 inches and weighing approximately 130 pounds. The digital flyers and social media posts served as a constant reminder of the ongoing search for the missing teenager.
In a positive turn of events, official reports later indicated that Nicolas Pietrodangelo had been located and was alive. While the community expressed relief at the news of his safe recovery, the specific details regarding the circumstances of his return and where he was found have remained private. The update, confirming he was no longer considered a missing person, brought an end to the public phase of a case that had held the attention and concern of many in the Winter Haven area. This resolution, while not elaborating on the intervening time, concluded the search for the young man.Last Seen: Feb 10, 2026
