Bryan Andrew Hayes was 13 when he disappeared from Jacksonville, Florida, on February 10, 2005. He left Paxon Middle School that day with his friend Mark Degner after an argument with a teacher at about 1:15 p.m., and neither boy has been seen since. Bryan had developmental delays and bipolar disorder and required daily medication he did not have with him when he vanished.

Authorities initially treated the pair as runaways because they had talked about leaving and had tried to sneak away before. Neither boy took any belongings, including extra clothes or Bryan’s medication, which raised concerns and later led investigators to consider possible foul play. Multiple searches and public appeals produced no definitive leads, and the case remains unsolved and classified as endangered.

Age-progressed images have been released over the years in hopes of generating tips. Does anyone who lived in Jacksonville in 2005 remember seeing either boy after February 10, or have information that might help locate them?
