A 16-year-old male named Joell Swanson was last seen in Blanch, North Carolina, on July 7, 2023. Few specifics about his last known movements have been released publicly, though authorities noted he may have been wearing glasses when he disappeared.

The Caswell County Sheriff’s Office is handling the case. Investigators have warned Joell might have traveled outside the county and suggested he could be in Durham, Charlotte, or Greensboro, expanding the search to several larger North Carolina cities. Public appeals for information remain active, but details about search efforts or investigative leads have been sparse.

If anyone saw Joell after July 7, 2023, or has information about his possible whereabouts in Durham, Charlotte, Greensboro, or elsewhere in North Carolina, please share what you know with the Caswell County Sheriff’s Office.
