Clay County Sheriff's Department deputies are searching for a missing 14-year-old boy last seen riding a blue mountain bike near Liberty, Missouri on Thursday afternoon. Sean Tate was last spotted around 3 p.m. near Northeast 106th Street and Lancaster Road, and he does not have a phone with him, making it harder for him to reach anyone or be reached.
According to kshb.com, Sean is described as 5 feet 10 inches tall and about 175 pounds. He was last seen wearing gray sweatpants, a blue shirt and a black backpack, according to the same report. Deputies have not released a photo alongside the description, and much about where he may have gone from there remains unknown.
A Possible Sighting Near William Jewell College
A possible sighting placed Sean near William Jewell College around 5 p.m. Thursday, but that report has not been confirmed, per kshb.com.

As reported by FOX4KC.com, Sean's family is concerned about his safety. The outlet's reporting, credited to author Jared Bush, also noted that the public is being asked to call 911 if they have any information about where he might be.
What To Do If You See Him
Anyone with information about Sean Tate's whereabouts should call 911 right away. With no phone on him and only a partial, unverified sighting to go on, deputies are relying on tips from the public to help bring him home safely.
