Fourteen-year-old Elias Rahimi disappeared from a group home in Buckeye, Arizona, in the early hours of January 19, 2025. He was last seen in the 30000 block of West McKinley Street and was reported to have run away around midnight, according to the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office. Elias is described as White/Caucasian, with brown hair and black eyes, standing between 5 feet 6 inches and 5 feet 8 inches and weighing between 125 and 135 pounds.

Authorities had no known medical concerns or identified direction of travel when he left, and no distinctive physical features or clothing description were available in initial reports. He was entered into the National Crime Information Center as a runaway juvenile; the case was later added to NamUs on July 9, 2025, and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children circulated a poster to raise awareness. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office remains the lead agency and asks anyone with information to contact them.

Does anyone in Buckeye or the surrounding area remember seeing Elias on January 19 or know places he might go?
