Fourteen-year-old Ethan David Stafford was last reported missing from Spring Hill, Tennessee, on May 5, 2026. He is described as a White male with blond or strawberry-blond hair and blue eyes, about 5 feet 9 inches tall and 120 pounds. Official records say he left without permission, but do not identify the specific location he departed from, what he was wearing, whether he had belongings, or a possible destination.

Ethan had an earlier related incident: Fayetteville police reported he was last seen on March 4, 2026, near the former Lincoln County hospital on Maple Street West, reportedly wearing all-black clothing and possibly heading toward Huntsville, Alabama. Fayetteville police later said he had been located alive; public reports did not provide details about that recovery.

The May report leaves a troubling gap between Ethan’s departure and his later whereabouts; there is no public information on friends, vehicles, routes, or contacts connected to the Spring Hill disappearance. Anyone with direct, credible information about Ethan’s whereabouts or contact with him is asked to call the Spring Hill Police Department at 931-486-2632 or the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-843-5678. Did anyone in Spring Hill or nearby communities see Ethan around May 5 who can help fill in his movements?
