Ethan Fussell, 21, of Lakeland, Florida, was last seen May 7, 2024, at a mobile home on Driggers Road. Family-led and law enforcement searches followed, but investigators later found a significant amount of blood at the scene that was identified as Ethan’s. The Polk County Sheriff’s Office now believes Ethan was murdered, though his body has not been located.

Two men — Talon Isaac Page and Adonai Moran-Rivera — have been arrested in connection to the case. Page, who lived in the Driggers Road home, is reported to have been central to Ethan’s death, with investigators noting possible disputes over drugs or money as a motive. Despite arrests and evidence recovered at the scene, Ethan’s remains remain missing and authorities continue to pursue leads.

Ethan’s family described him as a good-hearted young man who survived severe childhood trauma, including a major car accident, and who had recently fallen in with the wrong crowd despite no prior criminal history. If anyone has information about Ethan’s whereabouts or the events of May 7, please contact the Polk County Sheriff’s Office.
