Forest Ferguson was 16 when he was last seen leaving the Carlbrook School, a private boarding program in rural South Boston, Virginia, on the evening of Saturday, December 4, 2010. He left campus at about 7:30 PM carrying some clothing and wearing a dark hoodie (possibly a burgundy Carhartt-style jacket), jeans, and a borrowed pair of white Chuck Conner Nike sneakers. He has a scar on his chest.

Forest had been placed in residential programs for some time before his disappearance, including the Diamond Ranch Academy in Utah. Investigators have treated the case as an endangered runaway, and it is thought he may have intended to travel through South Boston or Danville, Virginia, or possibly to Durham, North Carolina. Despite being an active missing person investigation, there have been no definitive traces of him since that night.

His family has said they want to reconnect and simply know he is safe. Does anyone have information about Forest’s movements after he left Carlbrook or remember seeing him in the region that December night?
