The Fairfield County Sheriff’s Office has a missing-juvenile alert on its Facebook page.
Fleure is 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 120 pounds, with blue eyes and blonde curly hair. The office reported that he left his home Sunday evening and has since been the subject of an active search for information about his whereabouts.
Ohio law requires law enforcement to take a missing-child report when a caregiver wishes to file one, act promptly to locate the child and enter readily available information into the FBI’s National Crime Information Center immediately after the report. The statute also bars agencies from policies that prohibit or discourage filing a report or taking action within a specified waiting period. These requirements apply to missing-child investigations statewide, beyond the public information shared in a particular alert. Ohio’s missing-child reporting law sets out those duties.
What Deputies Are Asking the Public to Do
The sheriff’s office asked anyone with information about Fleure’s whereabouts to come forward. The notice lists 740-652-7911 as a point of contact.
A sheriff’s office social-media appeal is distinct from Ohio’s formal statewide missing-child alert programs. The state says a Missing Child Alert is for a child considered at risk when the case does not meet AMBER Alert criteria; it requires law enforcement to confirm the child is missing and that the disappearance poses a credible, immediate danger of serious bodily harm or death. An AMBER Alert, by contrast, requires a confirmed abduction and other criteria. Ohio’s alert criteria explain the difference.
No further details about the circumstances of his disappearance were included in the notice, and the office has not released additional information beyond his last known clothing and the Pleasantville-area sighting.
An Earlier Missing-Juvenile Case
In a separate case reported by nbc4i.com in 2022, the sheriff’s office sought help locating 16-year-old Arianna Michelle Anderson, whom it described as an at-risk juvenile. That report said Anderson was last seen at her home in Pickerington around 6:20 a.m. on a Tuesday and was believed to be in the Columbus area, with her family expressing concern for her well-being after she made statements about being in a crisis state and at risk of self-harm.
The outlet noted that Anderson was approximately 5 feet 5 inches tall, weighed approximately 185 pounds, and had brown hair and eyes, and was last seen wearing black leggings, a black-and-orange tie-dyed shirt, and white Crocs. Anyone with information in that earlier case was asked to contact the Fairfield County Sheriff’s Office.
State figures offer broader context but do not indicate the outcome of Fleure’s case. Ohio recorded 15,367 missing-child reports in 2025, 1,037 fewer than in 2024; the state’s clearinghouse said 97.8% of the children reported missing that year had been recovered safely by year’s end. The figures count reports entered into the national database and describe statewide cases, not the likelihood of any individual case’s resolution. The Ohio Missing Children Clearinghouse’s 2025 annual report provides the totals.
No update has been provided on whether Fleure has been located or whether the search remains ongoing. Anyone with information about his whereabouts is urged to reach out to the sheriff’s office directly.
