In the summer of 2019, concern grew for the well-being of 13-year-old Lincoln Black, a male from Buffalo, New York. He was last seen on July 22, 2019, in his hometown. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as being 5'11' and weighing approximately 107 pounds. He has black hair and hazel eyes. The circumstances surrounding his initial disappearance were classified as a juvenile runaway situation, a detail that often adds layers of complexity and concern for the safety of a young individual.

The Buffalo Police Department was the primary agency investigating Lincoln's case. Details regarding the specific actions taken by law enforcement and the community in the search for Lincoln are not widely available in public sources. Often in cases involving missing juveniles, particularly when classified as a runaway, the public dissemination of information can be limited to protect the privacy of the minor and their family. The focus of such investigations typically involves extensive interviews with family and friends, examination of electronic devices, and coordination with other law enforcement agencies.

Thankfully, this story has a positive resolution. According to the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System Lincoln Black has been located and is alive. While the public record confirms his safe recovery, specific details about when or how he was found are not available. The resolution of his case brings a sense of relief, closing a chapter of uncertainty for his loved ones and the community. The overview of this case highlights a period of distress that ultimately concluded with the safe return of a missing child.
