Ryan Larsen was 12 years old. He went missing on May 17th 2021. Ryan was a 6th grader at La Vista West Elementary in La Vista, NE. Ryan was last seen walking out of his school at between 1:30-2 p.m. It has been 165 days since Ryan has disappeared.
Ryan had autism. Quite often did Ryan run away from home, or go hide somewhere. But was always found. Ryan had a tracker band for 2 months before he went missing but cut it off himself. Ryan’s case is still active but is slowing down.
Ryan had an umbrella with him the day he went missing. Couple weeks after he went missing investigators found the umbrella near the dumpster behind his complex he lived in. They have searched in all waters in his surroundings, have searched his neighborhood, going door to door. Have searched the school.
Still searching but not finding any evidence of anything. Someone in the world knows what happened to Ryan but they have no evidence to prove anything. They have no evidence that he was abducted. They have no evidence that he may have run off, they have no evidence that harm may have come to him
What do you think happened to Ryan?
Do you think his family or school has anything to do with his disappearance?
Do you think Ryan is dead or alive somewhere?

Stories such as this leads to questions that aren't great becuase it asks people to just guess, not think. I am looking for more of your thoughts and opinions and not just an article summary. Adding your thoughts an opinions would have expanded your summary as well which is brief. Great job replying to students!
I think that it is hard to say what happend to him because their is no evidence to go off of. I think that he is most likely dead because it has been 165 days wich I think that the only way he could still be alive is if he was kidnapped by somone because I dont think he would have survived that long by himself.
I don't think it is clear enough of what happened to Ryan, but I think it is very possible that he ran away. If Ryan had a past of running away and hiding, then I think he unfortunately took his chance to run away. I hope Ryan is still alive, but I think it would be hard for him to take care of himself. I think it is possible that he didn't have a good family or school life.
I agree, because he took his own chance, but who knows if he knew what he was doing.
I think the poor guy was kidnapped. I mean if they can't find any evidence or a body to confirm he was dead then he's probably still alive. His family wouldnt be in this I assume, but I guess you never really know. I really hope he is alive somewhere, but I don't think he is dead.
I think Ryan has been kidnapped. If they don't find a body or evidence of a murder, he's not dead. He may be somewhere far away from where he lives, hoping to have someone he knows or can trust for his life. I hope that he will return to civilization and that he will be helped to break out of his habit.
I agree with you, I think that he may be alive but far far from here.
I think that Ryan probably just walked off somewhere like he has before and he went sme place and no one found him. After while he probably hasn't ate anything and maybe someone took him in, but if he has been gone that long he hasn't ate or drank.
I think that he just wondered off some where and either got lost or he tried to find shelter and he got stuck. Its another sad case of a kid going missing and never getting found I just hope that he is not stuck somewere in someones house and that he safe and living with a friend in another state or something.
I think that Ryan was kidnapped because if he had ran away before then why wouldn't he come home this time if he wasn't kidnapped. I don't think his family or his school has anything to do with his disappearance. I honestly have no clue if Ryan is dead or alive. But if he is by himself, I think he is dead because he would have no food or shelter without nobody knowing about it.
