Seventeen-year-old Colton Paul Hart was reported missing from Fenwick, West Virginia, after being last seen in the community. Publicly available missing-child information identified him as a teenage male from West Virginia and described him as White, with blond hair and blue eyes. The available notices were brief and did not provide detailed circumstances about where in Fenwick he was last seen, what he may have been wearing, whether he was traveling on foot or by vehicle, or whether there were any known destinations or people he may have been with.
Colton has since been located. The exact date he was found is not publicly clear from the available information, so it should be described only in general terms rather than tied to a specific date.
Because the public details are limited, the most responsible summary is that Colton was the subject of a missing-person notice out of Fenwick, West Virginia, and that the matter is no longer being treated as an active missing-person case based on updated information indicating he was located.
The limited amount of public information surrounding Colton’s case underscores the importance of handling the matter with care and compassion. When a young person is reported missing, families and communities often face uncertainty, fear, and public attention during an already painful time. Since Colton has been located, continued discussion of the case should avoid speculation about why he went missing or the circumstances surrounding his recovery unless confirmed information becomes available from an official or reliable public source.Last Seen: Apr 12, 2026
