A disappearance that changed an ordinary day
Missing person in Georgia. Fourteen-year-old Nyle Frederick left home and vanished. The location was the King’s Chapel area near Morning Side Drive. Perry families moved through their routines. One household suddenly stopped. Calls went unanswered. Doors stayed open. Fear took hold. Police joined the search quickly. Each passing hour increased concern. Developmental factors raised risk immediately. Community awareness became essential.
Who Nyle Frederick is
Nyle is a bright, high-functioning autistic teen. He also manages ADHD. He loves simple routines. Fishing brings calm focus. Quiet spaces help him reset. Loud noises frighten him. Crowds overwhelm him. He sometimes seeks water because it feels peaceful. That habit worries investigators. He does not know how to swim. A pond or creek could draw him without warning.
The last known movements
He was last seen leaving the residence. Direction stayed uncertain. Nearby streets offered many paths. Woods and water sit close. Family members checked familiar places. Officers canvassed neighborhoods. Neighbors reviewed cameras. Tips began arriving. Even small recollections mattered. Timelines grew with each call.
Why the situation is urgent
Children with sensory differences face unique risks. Startling sounds can trigger panic. Wandering can happen quietly. Darkness increases confusion. Cold weather worsens danger. Lack of swimming ability raises stakes around ponds. Searchers must move fast. Information needs to flow quickly. Community vigilance becomes life-saving.
What Nyle may be wearing
He wore a black jacket. A red shirt sat underneath. Black pants completed the outfit. Those colors can blend at night. Reflect on yesterday’s walks and drives. A brief memory might surface. Clothing often anchors recognition.
Places he may attempt to reach
Nyle has family on Suzanne Retreat Drive. He knows how to get there. He sometimes walks long distances. Fishing spots interest him. Creeks, retention ponds, and quiet banks attract his attention. Check areas where water meets trails. Report footprints and disturbed grass. Even uncertain observations help.
How investigators are working
Perry Police coordinate search teams. Officers check creeks and wooded edges. K-9 units may assist. Drones can scan ponds. Dispatch logs every tip. Officers call partner agencies. Volunteers receive guidance. Search zones expand carefully. Safety stays first.
What the family is enduring
Hours stretch painfully. Meals remain untouched. Porch lights stay on. Every vehicle that passes sparks hope. Silence returns again. Friends deliver support. Neighbors pray together. The community holds its breath. Love keeps the family steady.
How you can help right now
Look around water sources. Walk edges safely. Check sheds and porches. Listen for movement. Avoid loud approaches. Call out gently from a distance. Do not attempt risky searches at night near water. Share what you see immediately.
