Police refused to list Destry as an official missing person until two years after his disappearance because he was a troubled teen and a presumed runaway.

That is so unfortunate. He was a 16 year old kid, it should have still been investigated.

His family runs a facebook account in memory of Destry. I found this version of that photo there.

*It appears that at least one of those photos was taken approximately 3 years before he went missing.

He was originally from Detroit Michigan and his family moved to Florida. I wonder if he went back?
