UPDATE: We’re happy to let you know that OCSO deputies say missing autistic 14-year old Aiden Howey of Crestview has now been located not far from his home and is safe and uninjured. The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office is continuing to search for an autistic teen who left his Crestview area home last night around 6:30 p.m.
A search with K9s assisting from Okaloosa Correctional Insitution found a partial track overnight but lost it around 3 a.m.
The OCSO also used drones overnight and again today in the search for 14- year old Aiden Howey of Shoffner Boulevard.
Family members and citizens joined together this morning to work to help locate the teen, who family members describe as high functioning’; however they say Aiden will likely run if someone who spots him yells out his name, so they ask that you call the OCSO immediately if you see him or have any information on his whereabouts.
In past incidents deputies say Aiden has roamed nearby woods and outlying buildings such as sheds, so residents are asked to please keep an eye out.
Aiden left his home wearing a gray tee shirt with a Batman logo, gray and black jogging pants and white Nike tennis shoes.
