Ryan Larsen was 11 years old when he walked out of his elementary school in La Vista, Nebraska on May 17, 2021. This is something he\u2019d done before. He was known to leave school and hide when he became frustrated. The La Vista Police Department said they\u2019d recovered Ryan at least half a dozen times before this. So, when he walked out on May 17, they figured it would be the same routine. They\u2019d go check Ryan\u2019s hiding spots and find him in 1-2 hours tops.\n\nBut this time was different. It has now been over a year since Ryan went missing and the La Vista Police department says they basically have no idea what happened to him.\n\nIt seems like they only have a handful of major leads right now, Ryan\u2019s umbrella that was found next to a dumpster nearly a month after he went missing, some very blurry surveillance video and Ryan\u2019s report of there being a strange man at his school just 2 weeks before he disappeared.\xa0\n\nRyan is almost 13 now. He is a white male with brown hair and hazel eyes. When he went missing, he was 11 years old and approximately 5ft 8inches tall. He was wearing a black jacket, blue jeans, and an old navy shirt. He was having issues with acne on his forehead that was quite noticeable. So, it\u2019s possible he still has acne or acne scars.\n\xa0\nAuthorities have asked that if you see Ryan, you do not call his name. But instead keep your distance and call 911. If you have any information about Ryan\u2019s disappearance you can call Sarpy County Crime Stoppers at 402-592-7867.\n\nA special shoutout to John Lordan at LordanARTS for connecting me with Taylor Larsen.
