Seventeen-year-old Cyrus Carter was living at the Jackson County Juvenile Detention center in Medford, Oregon, when he disappeared during a supervised walk on the night of December 29, 2025. A staff member announced it was time to return inside and both youths present fled; the other juvenile was located shortly afterward but Carter was not. He is six feet tall, about 160 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

On the night he vanished he was wearing a black puffy jacket, black skinny jeans, and blue-and-black Jordan shoes, and authorities say he has no known scars or tattoos to help identification. The Medford Police Department is handling the investigation under case number 25-22306 and is asking anyone with information to contact non-emergency dispatch. The circumstances of how a supervised walk ended with him missing remain unclear.

Does anyone in Medford remember seeing Cyrus that night or have information about his whereabouts?
