Joshua Cooke was publicly listed in online missing-child alerts as a teenage boy from Massachusetts. The specific record tied to Beverly, Massachusetts, described Joshua as 17 years old, male, Hispanic, with brown hair and brown eyes, and stated that he had been missing since March 12, 2026, from Beverly. The available public details were limited, offering no narrative about the circumstances that led to his disappearance, no confirmed last-known clothing description, no named location within Beverly, and no explanation of where he may have been headed. What remains in the online record is the stark and painful fact that a teenager’s name was placed into public missing-child awareness channels, asking anyone with information to come forward.
The online trail for Joshua is complicated by later and conflicting public records. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children later displayed a separate active poster for a Joshua Cooke in Massachusetts, connected to NCMEC case number 2086295 and NCIC number M338886605. That poster listed him as missing from Lowell, Massachusetts, with a missing date of April 30, 2026, and said only that Joshua was last seen on that date. It also listed him as male and provided Lowell Police Department as the investigating agency, with the department’s phone number shown as 978-937-3200, along with NCMEC’s 24-hour call center number, 1-800-THE-LOST.
Because these online sources do not provide a full account of what happened in Beverly on March 12, 2026, Joshua’s case must be told carefully and without adding details that have not been publicly documented. There is no verified public information in the sources reviewed explaining whether he left home, was last seen by family, friends, school staff, or authorities, or whether investigators believed he may have traveled elsewhere. The absence of those details does not make the case any less urgent; it simply means the public record is sparse. For Joshua’s loved ones, the lack of a complete public timeline would have made every unanswered question heavier: where he was last seen, who saw him last, whether he had a phone or belongings with him, and whether anyone noticed something that seemed small at the time but later became important.
The later NCMEC and missing-person listing connected Joshua to Lowell rather than Beverly, showing that public missing-person records can shift, be replaced, or reflect more than one report involving the same name. A Massachusetts current missing-persons listing also repeated the Lowell information, identifying Joshua Cooke as missing from Lowell on April 30, 2026, and directing anyone with information to contact Lowell Police. That same contact number is consistent with the official Lowell Police Department listing, which identifies the department’s main phone number as 978-937-3200 and confirms 911 as the emergency number.
There is no online source reviewed that states Joshua Cooke has been found alive, and no online source reviewed that states he was located deceased. In the absence of a confirmed resolution, the public record should be treated with care: Joshua was reported missing as a 17-year-old Massachusetts teenager, first associated in available alerts with Beverly on March 12, 2026, and later associated in national missing-child records with Lowell on April 30, 2026. The known story is therefore not a complete timeline, but a plea for attention built around a young person’s name, his identifying details, and the hope that someone may know something. The overview of the case is that Joshua Cooke’s disappearance remains publicly documented through limited online missing-child records, with conflicting location and date information between Beverly and Lowell, and with the clearest current public call for information directing tips to Lowell Police or NCMEC.
