Melvin Lazo-Martinez was 17 when he disappeared from Worcester, Massachusetts on June 8, 2013. He was walking with a limp at the time because of a fractured left ankle. Authorities classified him as an endangered runaway and say he may have left voluntarily; they also reported he could have been with a female companion.

Investigators suggested Melvin and the companion might have stayed in the local area or travelled to New York City. An age-progressed image showing how he might look at 21 was released by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Few other details have been made public and his whereabouts remain unknown.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Worcester Police Department.
