16-Year-Old Hyatt Saylor Found Safe After Brevard County Missing Alert

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement canceled a Missing Child Alert Friday after reporting that 16-year-old Hyatt Saylor had been found safe. Authorities say Saylor was last seen Thursday in the 2200 block of Trava Lane in Melbourne, Brevard County.

Police described Saylor as a white male about 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing roughly 165 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. "Police say he was wearing a white hooded sweatshirt, dark pants, and white shoes when he disappeared. He was carrying a dark backpack on the 2200 block of Trava Lane," investigators said in the initial notice. A photo credited to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement Missing Endangered Persons Information Clearinghouse accompanied the alert.

Investigators with the Brevard County Sheriff's Office confirmed the teen has been located.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement summed up the update: "The Missing Child Alert for Hyatt Saylor has been cancelled. FDLE reports that he is safe."

Officials did not release further details about the circumstances of Saylor's disappearance or where and how he was found. "Officials didn't share any details about the case," authorities noted, leaving gaps about whether Saylor was alone, whether any arrests or medical care were involved, and other particulars of the recovery.
