The Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) is looking for an 11-year-old boy who went missing from a Colorado Springs elementary school Monday afternoon, Sept. 9.

Trevor Frachner, 11, was last seen near Grant Elementary School around 12:35 p.m. heading south toward Grant Park. According to CSPD , police received a call at approximately 2:19 p.m. regarding a missing child. The caller said the student had left school voluntarily and had not returned.

The caller said they last saw Frachner running toward an area park — Grant Park — and he had not been seen or heard from since. CSPD officers responded and scoured the area on foot, by vehicle, and also with a drone to search for him, but he was not found.

Colorado Springs School District 11 (D11) said Frachner was initially given permission to go to the restroom before going missing.

“Upon realizing the situation, the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD), district security personnel, and the team at Grant Elementary immediately launched a comprehensive search, which remains underway,” said D11. “We are fully committed to the safety and well-being of all students. While this incident is deeply concerning, we are working closely with law enforcement and our district security team to ensure the student is found and returned safely.”

Frachner is described as white and weighs 75 pounds. District 11 described him as having light blonde hair and of slender build. He was last seen wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, red shorts, and black shoes.
