The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has lifted the Endangered Child Alert for Jason Manson Jr., a 15-year-old Rutherford County resident, after the teenager was found safe last night. The situation began when Manson was reported missing earlier yesterday, last seen on the corner of River Rock Boulevard and Sycamore Drive in Murfreesboro. Described by TBI as standing 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing 210 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes, he was last spotted wearing a cream Volkswagen shirt and blue jeans. The alert highlighted concerns regarding Manson's medical condition, which they feared may impair his ability to return safely without assistance. This information comes via WSMV.
In a rapid twist of events, the TBI canceled the alert less than 30 minutes after its issuance. Officials in Murfreesboro confirmed Manson was located safely within the city limits. Despite the prompt resolution, details on the circumstances of both his disappearance and how he was found has yet to be disclosed publically. The TBI and local authorities initially reached out to the community for help, urging anyone with information to come forward, as noted in a report by WKRN. Details surrounding the teen's short-lived disappearance remain unclear.
Before being found, there was a collective effort to ascertain the teenager's whereabouts. The Murfreesboro Police Department and TBI had solicited tips from the public, requesting anyone with information about Manson to call the designated hotline numbers. He was widely regarded as endangered due to a medical condition that could potentially prevent him from making it home without assistance. The initial alert and description of the teen spread rapidly through local news outlets and social media platforms, as part of the broader strategy to ensure his swift and safe return. This was mentioned in a brief by FOX 17.
