Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP70659) and 2 other sources
In the quiet town of Katonah, New York, the winter of 2017 brought with it a sense of unease for the family of Alexander Molina-Morales. On December 11, the 17-year-old male was seen for the last time. On the day he vanished, he reportedly left his home with all of his personal belongings and has not been heard from since. At the time of his disappearance, Alexander was described as being 5'6' tall and weighing 140 pounds, with brown hair and black eyes. He was of Hispanic and White/Caucasian descent. The items he was believed to have with him included a blue NY baseball cap, a blue sweater, blue jeans, black Converse sneakers, a black backpack, a silver necklace with a cross, and a diamond earring in his right ear.

The Bedford Town Police Department opened an investigation into Alexander's disappearance, classifying his case as a juvenile runaway. Despite this classification, the complete absence of contact from him since he left has been a source of ongoing concern. The circumstances surrounding his decision to leave his residence with all his possessions remain unclear to the public. Authorities have encouraged anyone with information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, to come forward to assist in the investigation. The Bedford Police Department continues to be involved in the search for answers.

Years have passed since Alexander Molina-Morales was last seen, and his case remains an open and unsolved missing person investigation. The initial hope for a quick resolution has faded with time, leaving his loved ones in a state of prolonged uncertainty. The lack of any new leads or sightings has made the search for answers increasingly difficult. The overview of this case is one of a young man who seemingly chose to leave his life behind, yet the enduring silence raises many questions. The investigation remains active, with law enforcement still hopeful for a breakthrough that will finally shed light on what happened to Alexander and bring him home.
