The search intensifies for a missing teen from Henderson, as local authorities and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children continue to ask for the public's help. Riley Monk, a 16-year-old resident, has been missing since November 15, prompting widespread concern. Described as standing 6 feet tall, weighing 240 pounds, with hazel eyes and blonde hair, there is a growing urgency to locate him.
Amber Monk, Riley's mother, reached out through News 3 Las Vegas with a message that underscored her son's disappearance is not normal for him. "Riley, I love you, and I just want you to come home safely," she said. "I will always be here for you," Amber conveyed, signaling a beacon of hope for Riley, who had never gone missing before.

Together, they are casting a wide net, appealing to anyone who might have seen Riley or knows of his whereabouts to come forward.
