A 16-year-old boy is missing—and time matters more than ever.
Joshua Baugh has been reported missing since April 5, 2026, and his loved ones are desperately searching for answers. He was last seen in La Verne, California, and since that moment, there has been growing concern for his safety and well-being.
Behind every missing person alert is a real story—a family waiting, a community hoping, and a young life that deserves to be found and protected. Joshua is not just a name or a case number. He is someone’s son, someone’s friend, someone who should be safe at home right now.
As days pass, the urgency only increases.
📂 Case Details:
• Name: Joshua Baugh
• Age: 16 years old
• Missing since: April 5, 2026
• Last seen: La Verne, California
• NCIC#: M478839936
• NCMEC#: 2083859
These identifiers are critical for law enforcement and national databases, helping ensure that Joshua’s case is recognized and actively searched across agencies. But awareness from the public is just as important—sometimes even more powerful.
Because someone out there may have seen him.
Someone may remember a detail that didn’t seem important at the time. A face. A location. A moment. And that one memory could help bring Joshua home.
This is where you come in.
In today’s world, information spreads faster than ever. Social media has helped locate missing individuals, reunite families, and generate leads that might never have surfaced otherwise. A single share can reach hundreds. Hundreds can reach thousands. And somewhere in that chain could be the person who knows something.
Don’t underestimate the power of your action.
Imagine Joshua’s family right now—checking their phones, hoping for updates, holding onto any sign of hope. The uncertainty is overwhelming. The waiting is unbearable. And yet, they continue to hope that someone, somewhere, will help.
Let’s be that “someone.”
