Missing Pinellas Teen

A Family is Searching for 17-Year-Old Amari Santana.

A Pinellas County family is desperately searching for 17-year-old Amari Santana, who has been missing since Sunday night, September 27.

Amari is on the spectrum, an important detail for anyone who may see or come into contact with him.

According to his family, Amari’s mom dropped him off at Edgewater Park in Dunedin at approximately 8:15 PM so he could go for a run.

He didn't have his phone with him.

And he never came back.

LAST CONFIRMED SIGHTING

The last confirmed sighting of Amari was captured in a photo in downtown Clearwater on Sunday night.

At approximately 9:30 PM, Amari was believed to be continuing south, potentially toward the Largo/St. Petersburg area.

That means this isn't something only Dunedin residents should be watching for.

Clearwater. Largo. Seminole. St. Petersburg. And everywhere in between — please pay attention.

WHAT AMARI WAS WEARING:

Amari is 17 years old, 6'0" tall and approximately 150 pounds.

When he disappeared, he was reportedly wearing black shorts, a white shirt and a camouflage hoodie.

PINELLAS — TAKE A SECOND AND LOOK

Someone may have seen Amari without realizing a family was searching for him.

Think back to Sunday night.

Were you driving through downtown Clearwater? On the Pinellas Trail? Heading south toward Largo or St. Petersburg? Working at a restaurant, convenience store or business along the way?

Check your doorbell cameras, security cameras and dashcams from Sunday night.

A few seconds of video that seemed completely insignificant at the time could help establish where Amari went next.

And please share his photo. The person who recognizes him may not follow the same pages you do.

Amari's family wants him home.

If you see Amari or have information that could help locate him, CALL 911
