Authorities are seeking public tips to help locate 17-year-old Kyrah Wilson, who has been missing since late May.

FOX 8 News reported that Wilson was last reported in Cleveland Heights on May 30.

Who to Contact With Information

Anyone with information about Wilson's whereabouts is asked to call 1-216-381-1234, FOX 8 News reported.

Wilson's case has also been documented by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which maintains a poster seeking information on Wilson.

Ohio Missing-Child Alerts and Statewide Data

Ohio law requires specific conditions for a statewide AMBER Alert: a confirmed abduction, a child under 18, a credible threat of immediate danger of serious bodily harm or death, and enough descriptive information. The Ohio Emergency Management Agency lists AMBER Alerts and Endangered Missing Child Alerts as separate alert types. These general rules do not establish whether the criteria were considered in Wilson’s case. The Ohio Attorney General’s 2024 Ohio Missing Children Clearinghouse Report said 16,404 children were reported missing statewide and 15,834, or 96.5%, were recovered safely by year’s end, according to Richland Source. These are statewide figures, not Cuyahoga County totals, and do not indicate the outcome of Wilson’s case. Richland Source also reported that the BCI Missing Persons Unit assists families and local law enforcement in missing-person cases and coordinates Endangered Missing Child and Adult Alerts; this describes its general role, not its involvement in Wilson’s case.
