Francisco Tomas Bernabe, 17, was reported missing from Shelbyville, Bedford County, Tennessee, after last being seen on March 1, 2024. He is described as a Hispanic male with black hair and brown eyes. Specifics about where he was last seen or what he was wearing that day have not been released.

The Shelbyville Police Department is handling the investigation. Public information has been limited; the clearest lead released is that Francisco may be in Alabama, though authorities have not explained why that state is considered a possibility. That tip broadens the search area and has been a central focus in a case few public leads have advanced.

For family and the community, the uncertainty about his whereabouts and the lack of significant public updates have been especially painful. If anyone has seen Francisco, knows where he might have traveled, or has information about possible sightings in Alabama, please contact the Shelbyville Police Department.
