🚨 Missing Person Alert – Please Share 🚨

The Madison County Sheriff’s Department is urgently searching for 13-year-old Gavin Nicholas Purkey, a nonverbal autistic male. He was last spotted on a trail camera in the 4700 block east of County Road 1000N.

Gavin is described as a white male, approximately 5’5” tall and weighing 180 lbs, with blonde hair and blue eyes. At the time he went missing, he was wearing a gray shirt and black shorts.

He was last seen on Thursday, July 10, 2025, around 8:00 AM, and authorities believe he may be in extreme danger. It’s also known that Gavin has a tendency to wander towards murky water, which further increases the risk to his safety.

Due to his nonverbal autism, Gavin will not respond to his name, and he will not approach anyone calling out to him. If you have any information regarding his whereabouts or if you locate him, it’s crucial that you do not take your eyes off him and immediately call 911.
