Every second matters when a child goes missing. Right now, a 16-year-old boy named Eric Tristan John Gilchrist needs our help — and your share could be the one that brings him home safely.
Eric has been missing since April 16, 2026, after he was last seen in Hampton, Virginia. Since that moment, his family, friends, and community have been living through unimaginable fear and uncertainty. No family should ever have to endure not knowing where their child is or whether they are safe. Today, we can all play a part in changing that.
At the time of his disappearance, Eric was wearing black baggy pants, a black skirt, and a black hoodie. These details matter — someone, somewhere may remember seeing him and not realize the importance of what they witnessed. Even the smallest observation could become the key piece of information that helps locate him.
Eric also has distinctive identifying features, including a mole on his cheek and another under his eye. These features may help someone recognize him, even if his clothing has changed. Please take a moment to truly look at these details and remember them — awareness is one of the most powerful tools in situations like this.

Someone out there knows something. Someone may have seen him. And someone might recognize him because of YOU.
