The Provo Police Department has issued a report concerning a 13-year-old boy, Gabriel Kotlov, who went missing from his school in Provo on Thursday, November 7. The teen is described as a Hispanic male, standing at 5 feet tall and weighing approximately 100 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, as ABC4 reports. The search for Gabriel has now expanded beyond Provo, with police exploring leads that he may have ties to the area of West Valley City.
While authorities have not specified whether they suspect Gabriel has run away or is in imminent danger, his known connections to West Valley City suggest that he might be present in that location. This information, as detailed by KSLTV, is guiding the investigative efforts of the Provo Police. The department is urging anyone with information regarding Gabriel's whereabouts to come forward and assist in the ongoing search for the missing youth.
According to FOX13, the Provo Police's call to action is reinforced by the details disseminated by news outlets seeking the public's help in finding Gabriel. It remains unclear at this time the circumstances under which Gabriel disappeared or if he indeed made his way to West Valley City, despite his established connections there.
