In the late summer of 2022, a 14-year-old boy named Derlyotoniel Sanchez went missing from Lake Worth, Florida. He was last seen on August 6, 2022.

When he was last seen, he was reportedly wearing a burgundy shirt, black shorts, and black slide-style shoes. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance began at his home.

According to reports from the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, the agency handling the investigation, Derlyotoniel, who also went by the names Darly Otoniel Sanchez Sanchez or Darly Sanchez Sanchez, left his residence after a disagreement with his uncle. The dispute was reportedly over his uncle's insistence that the teenager enroll in and attend school. Following this disagreement, the 14-year-old left the home, and his whereabouts became unknown, prompting his family to report him as a missing person on August 10, 2022.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office initiated an investigation into his disappearance. Official reports later indicated that Derlyotoniel Sanchez was found alive. While the circumstances and the exact date of his recovery have not been publicly detailed, the case is no longer considered an active missing person investigation.
