Scottsdale Police are asking for the public's help finding 16-year-old Carson Rey Long, who was last seen around 5:40 p.m. Wednesday near 7500 E. Earll Drive. He has not been located as of the department's latest post, and officers are urging anyone with information to come forward.
According to a missing juvenile alert from ScottsdalePD
, Long is described as 6 feet 1 inch tall and about 160 pounds, with blonde hair and green eyes. He was last seen wearing a black shirt and black pants, and may have been wearing brown sandals, the post says.
The alert also includes distinguishing features that could help identify him. Police say Long has piercings in both ears and a subdermal piercing on his upper left cheekbone. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call Scottsdale Police at 480-312-5000.
Scottsdale has seen missing-teen cases resolve safely before. In June, a 14-year-old who went missing during a hike through the McDowell Sonoran Preserve was found safe after an overnight search, according to azcentral.com. In that case, the teen had last been seen by family around 12:30 p.m. near 128th Street and Cactus Road before searchers located the teen the next day.
How to Help
For now, Scottsdale Police have not released any additional details about Carson Long's case beyond the description and last-known location near Earll Drive. Residents in the area who may have seen him Wednesday evening, or who have any other relevant information, are encouraged to contact the department directly.
