Destry Richard Rhinehart was 16 when he was last seen leaving his Orlando home around 4:00 p.m. on August 1, 2004. Authorities initially treated him as an endangered runaway, and that belief delayed an official missing-person listing for nearly two years. Few details exist about his movements that afternoon.

Destry is described as 5 feet 5 inches tall, 135 pounds, with black dreadlocked hair and brown eyes. He had a scar on his neck and a tattoo of the letter P on his upper right arm. At the time he went missing he was wearing a red t-shirt, dark basketball shorts, and red and white sneakers. His family continues to seek answers and the Orange County Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone knew Destry, saw him on or after August 1, 2004, or has information that could help, please contact the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
