Charles Shigley, 14, was last seen in Dayton, Ohio on February 5, 2026. He disappeared that day and no definitive trace of him has been found. Immediate large-scale searches followed, with flyers distributed, volunteers organizing search parties and vigils, and law enforcement interviewing friends, family and potential witnesses while trying to reconstruct his last known movements.

Those initial efforts produced no conclusive leads, and the active searches later gave way to a long-term investigation. Charles’s family remains without closure and the community continues to hope for answers about what happened.

If anyone in Dayton had contact with Charles around February 5, 2026, or saw anything that might help, please come forward with information.
