Cody Murphey was 16 when he ran away from a group home in Apache Junction, Arizona, on the evening of July 18, 2023, about 8:30 PM. He left the facility and has not been seen or heard from since. At the time he disappeared Cody was described as a Caucasian male, between 5 feet 5 inches and 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighing between 145 and 165 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.

The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office is the primary agency handling the case, which has been entered into national missing-persons databases. Investigators have followed up on leads, and community outreach and social media campaigns have been used to seek tips, but there has been no confirmed sighting or communication from Cody. His disappearance is officially classified as a runaway, yet the absence of contact has left his family and community uncertain about his safety.

If anyone saw Cody after July 18, 2023, or has information about where he might be, please come forward to the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office.
