Ryan Larsen loved to play hide-and-seek. The 11-year-old, who was autistic, could spend hours hiding in small spaces, waiting for someone to find him. On Monday, May 17, 2021, Ryan slipped away from his elementary school in La Vista, Nebraska when he was left alone in a classroom around 11:45 am. It was likely that Ryan decided to hide somewhere, but no one was able to find him. Ryan never made it home and was never seen again.
Ryan was last seen walking away from La Vista West Elementary School in the direction of his home; a surveillance camera at a business located across the street from his apartment caught him walking by around 20 pm, but his trail was lost when he walked out of view of the camera. Investigators were unable to find any additional footage of him. What really happened to Ryan and Where is he now?
