GILLETTE, Wyo. — A 15-year-old Gillette boy is missing, according to a Facebook post in Missing people of Wyoming.
Jesus Molina is 5-foot-9 and weighs 150 pounds, his father, Eduardo Molina, said at 8:52 p.m. Aug. 9. Eduardo said this morning that Jesus remains missing.
Campbell County Sheriff’s Office Undersheriff Quentin Reynolds said this morning that deputies received the report at 12:17 a.m. Aug. 9 that the boy ran away from his father’s residence on Cold Springs Court. The boy knew where the house cameras were and was able to leave without being seen. The sheriff’s office didn’t have a description of the boy or what he was wearing. The case has been entered into the National Crime Information Center’s database.
Jesus was last seen at 11:45 p.m. Aug. 8, Eduardo said. Eduardo doesn’t know what Jesus is wearing since he left at night.
“By the time the alarm went off and I got up, he was gone,” Eduardo said. “Someone was waiting for him in a car. They bolted quickly.”
Eduardo said he doesn’t know what car it was since it was too far away and there wasn’t enough light.
