An Albertville teen believed to have run away nearly a month ago is still gone, and police believe he may be in danger...

Albertville police investigators told AL.com's news partner, WHNT News 19, that the 15-year-old is considered a runaway, but that they believe the length of time he's been gone could mean he is in danger.

Richards, a student at Albertville Middle School, has run away before, but has always returned home after a few days, the news station reported.

Authorities still searching for Albertville teen missing since Feb. 8

Police, private investigators and family members are still searching for 15-year-old Jason Glenn Richards, who was reported missing more than a month ago. The Albertville student was last seen in Guntersville on Feb 8. There has been no contact from him since. Investigators say he has run away before but never for this long.

Major Jamie Smith of the Albertville Police Department said detectives are still actively looking for Jason. Some searched for him out of town this week but found nothing.

Smith said it is "out of normal" for a juvenile to disappear for this long, although the department has encountered cases of this length before. As with any missing person, authorities are primarily concerned with Jason's safety.

This is so incredibly sad. I remember when his mom was posting his photo all over Facebook because the police were not willing to help at the time. My heart is broken for her and the rest of his family.

There was another case a couple of years ago where a teen girl went missing and the police refused to investigate. They also "labeled" her as a runaway. Upon pleas from the mother, some citizens did investigation and found a surveillance video showing the girl in trouble and the person responsible. That lead to the arrest and confession of the murderer and he actually told them where to find her body.

My heart aches for Jason's family! How desperate they must have felt because they knew (intuition or rumor) that he didn't just "run away".

:rose: R.I.P. Jason :rose:

May justice come swiftly against those responsible. The family deserves nothing less! :cry: :cry: :cry:
