In a brief but reassuring update shared on their official Facebook page, the Carver County Sheriff's Office announced the welcome news that the young Atticus Robson, a 15-year-old boy who had been listed as missing, was found safe. The collective sigh of relief from the community could almost be heard as the message confirmed, "The juvenile male has been located safe and is being reunited with family. Thank you for all of the assistance." This statement came after an urgent call for help from local authorities in finding the young man.
Atticus was last seen leaving Waconia High School around 4:30 pm, which triggered immediate concern after he did not return home. In the original post from the Carver County Sheriff's Office, wearing a grey jacket, jeans, white Air Force 1 shoes, and a teal t-shirt, Atticus was described as missing. This description was meant to aid the public in identifying the tall youth, standing approximately 6'2". The office urged anyone with knowledge of his whereabouts to call 911, emphasizing the urgency of the situation on behalf of the missing teen.
Details of how Atticus was found or where he had been during the period he was considered missing were not immediately released by the sheriff's office.
