Nathan Waugh, a 16-year-old boy from Kearney, Nebraska, has been reported missing since Wednesday, August 7, 2024. According to his family, Nathan has several medical conditions requiring regular medication, raising concerns about his well-being as the search intensifies.
Nathan was last seen in Scottsbluff, and there is speculation that he may be traveling toward Torrington, Wyoming, Ogallala, or Kearney. His family has expressed deep concern, particularly given the cold weather, as Nathan was not wearing a jacket when he disappeared. At the time of his disappearance, he was reportedly wearing blue Nike shoes, a black shirt, and blue jeans. He may also be wearing a shoulder sling due to a recent collarbone injury sustained while playing football.
Nathan’s parents, Audra and Matthew Waugh, have been actively seeking any information about their son’s whereabouts. They are urging anyone with information to contact the Scottsbluff non-emergency police line at 308-632-7176.
The community has rallied on social media, sharing posts and expressing their concerns. One comment from Erin Angel reads, "Hasn’t he been missing before?" indicating that this is not the first time Nathan has been reported missing.
Authorities and family members are pleading with the public to come forward with any tips that might lead to Nathan’s safe return.
