Missing 15-Year-Old Andrew Spicer: Detroit Police Seek Tips

by

Detroit police are urgently seeking the public’s help to locate 15-year-old Andrew Spicer, who vanished from his home for a second time. Spicer was last seen leaving his residence in the 5000 block of Crane Street on Tuesday, Oct. 20, according to ClickOnDetroit.

After Spicer was first reported missing by his father, officers successfully located the teenager and drove him back to his residence. However, the relief was brief; ClickOnDetroit reported that after the officer dropped Andrew off at home, he ran away again.

A Pattern of Disappearances in Metro Detroit

While the specifics of Spicer’s second disappearance remain unclear, his case is not an isolated incident in the region. Several other youth disappearances have strained local resources across Metro Detroit in recent weeks.

  • Pontiac: The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office is searching for a 17-year-old girl missing for over a month.
  • Redford Township: A 13-year-old boy vanished in the middle of the night nearly two weeks ago.
  • Royal Oak: Police have been searching for a missing 13-year-old girl.

Identifying Andrew Spicer

Authorities are asking anyone who may have seen the teenager to come forward immediately. Andrew is described as having black hair, brown eyes, and weighing approximately 126 pounds. He is 15 years old.

The Stakes for Families and First Responders

For parents in Detroit, the process typically begins with a 911 call or a report to the department’s Telephone Crime Reporting Unit. According to a guide from Outlier Media, police generally require an updated photo and a detailed description of the child’s height, weight, and clothing to begin an effective search.

Families seeking broader resources can utilize the Michigan Missing Child Information Clearinghouse or the child locator website maintained by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.

Whether Andrew Spicer has since been found has not been reported.
