Eric Gilchrist, 16, was reported missing from Hampton, Virginia, with the publicly listed last-seen date of April 16, 2026. Public alerts and missing-child listings identify his name, age, gender, city, and that he is a missing child, but provide no detailed timeline or description of the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.

The case appears to have reached public attention through alert listings rather than a detailed police news release, so the public narrative is limited to the core identifying facts.

Anyone with verified information about Eric’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Hampton Police Department or the appropriate missing-child resources. Did anyone in Hampton see Eric on or after April 16, 2026?
