Police initially notified local media that the missing teen had been found safe.

There was miscommunication that the teen had been located.”
The teen, 16-year-old Ky-Mani Tindal, has been missing for more than three weeks.

Police say no license plate information or identification of the driver is available.
At the time he went missing, Tindal was wearing light blue sweatpants with the word ‘Mario Bros.’ printed down at least one leg, along with a white T-shirt. He is described as standing about 5’9″ and weighing approximately 131 pounds. The teen has been entered into the National Crime & Information Center (NCIC) database as a missing-runaway.
