Six days after he went missing, authorities say they found a 15-year-old Clarkesville teen.
“Avery has been located and he is healthy,” the Clarkesville Police Department posted to its Facebook page on August 27.
Police issued a lookout for Avery Haynes after his family reported him missing. He had last been seen on the evening of August 21 near the McDonalds on Washington Street in Clarkesville. The lookout post on social media was shared hundreds of times.
The 15-year-old’s mother, Kati Kenney, made a public appeal for help finding her son.
“As a mother, I just want him found and to know that my son is okay — [that] somebody is helping him. We just want them to do the right thing and reach out to law enforcement,” she says.
While the Clarkesville Police Department did not say where or how Haynes was located, the department did express its gratitude to the community saying, “Thank you all for your help!”
