[Inthedetails]

In an email shared with PEOPLE on Thursday, Dec. 11, the New York City Police Department (NYPD) said that Jafet Jemmott, 15, was last seen leaving home in the Rockaways on Nov. 28 at about 6 a.m. local time.

Jafet’s father, Federico Jemmott, said they got into a fight the previous night because Jafet wanted to go shopping at a thrift store in Brooklyn, before going to the Kings Plaza mall with friends, News 12 reported....

By using an app, they saw that his phone had 5% battery remaining when he left the house, but that the last place they were able to track him before his phone lost power was the Cross Bay Bridge.

His family said they believe he boarded the Q52 bus shortly after leaving their home.

“We are basically assuming that he went to meet someone at that time, because there's nowhere else someone could be leaving to go at six o'clock in the morning — no mall, no stores are open,” Federico told Gothamist.

The family says workers at the YMCA near their home saw someone matching his description, looking like they were about to get on the Q52 bus a little after Jafet left the house. His phone's last location was going over the Cross Bay Bridge.

"We have no idea where he was going, because he doesn't usually take the 52," Federico said.
He also told News 12, that through the phone company, were able to see he got a few messages on WhatsApp two hours before he left the house. However, they were unable to tell the full number they came from, and not what they said.

"My theory is that maybe he was speaking to someone online," Federico explained. "They probably convinced him to leave the house that day and he left."
