The search continues for Amari Santana, who was last seen in the Dunedin area as family, friends, volunteers, and search teams work to help bring him safely home.
According to those assisting with the search, Amari is a runner and is capable of traveling significant distances on foot. Because of this, the search area is being expanded as volunteers and authorities work to determine where he may have gone.
The last confirmed sighting of Amari was reportedly in downtown Clearwater on Sunday at approximately 9:30 p.m. At that time, he was believed to be heading south in the direction of the Largo and St. Petersburg area.
Family and those involved in the search are asking residents throughout the surrounding communities to remain alert and watch for Amari. Any possible sighting could be important, and people are encouraged to share his information widely so that more members of the public are aware that he is missing.
A large number of volunteers have already come forward to assist with the search and distribute flyers. The family expressed gratitude to everyone who has taken time to help and support efforts to locate Amari.
Search efforts were also scheduled at Edgewater Park in Dunedin, where volunteers were gathering until 5 p.m. to help search the surrounding area and distribute information.
Those involved are asking the public to continue sharing Amari’s information and to keep an eye out while traveling through Dunedin, Clearwater, Largo, St. Petersburg, and surrounding areas.
The family remains hopeful for Amari’s safe return and is asking the community to continue supporting the search. Anyone who believes they may have seen Amari should report the information to the appropriate authorities or the family’s designated search contacts rather than attempting to intervene themselves.
Every additional person looking could help provide an important lead as efforts continue to bring Amari home safely.
