Landon Washington was 17 years old when he was reported missing from Lithonia, Georgia, with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children listing his missing date as April 8, 2026. The NCMEC poster identifies him by name and connects his case to Lithonia, a community in DeKalb County within the greater Atlanta area, and the online alert is associated with NCMEC case number 2083808. Publicly available online information is limited, but the existence of the NCMEC poster means his case was shared through a national child-recovery network designed to circulate identifying details and encourage tips from the public.
The known public record begins with that missing date and location. Landon’s case does not appear, in the available online sources reviewed, to include a detailed public explanation of the circumstances surrounding his disappearance, such as where in Lithonia he was last seen, who last saw him, what he may have been wearing, whether he was believed to be traveling on foot or by vehicle, or whether authorities had identified a possible destination. That absence of detail leaves the public picture of the case painfully narrow: a 17-year-old boy was listed as missing from Lithonia, Georgia, and the available appeal centered on recognition, awareness, and the hope that someone might have information that could help bring clarity.
Because Landon was a minor, the public alert carried the weight of a child missing-person case rather than a routine absence. NCMEC’s own public guidance emphasizes that when a child is missing, families should contact local law enforcement and then contact NCMEC, whose case-management teams can work with families and investigating agencies, create and distribute posters, review and route leads, and help coordinate technical assistance. In that broader context, Landon’s poster was part of a system built to turn public attention into actionable information, especially when a child’s whereabouts are unknown and even small details from the community may matter.
The available online sources do not provide a confirmed resolution status for Landon’s case, and they do not provide enough public detail to reconstruct the hours or days after he was last seen. What remains is a restrained but important overview: Landon Washington, a 17-year-old male, was reported missing from Lithonia, Georgia, with a missing date of April 8, 2026; NCMEC issued an online poster connected to case number 2083808; publicly available details about the circumstances, clothing, direction of travel, or possible companions are sparse; and the case stands in the public record as an appeal for awareness and information about a teenager whose disappearance left unanswered questions for those concerned about his safety.
