Missing and Wanted: Runaway San Diego Teenager May Still Be in the Area

Missing 16 years, an age-progression image shows how Jack Morgan might look today.

Jack Morgan is listed as an endangered runaway, missing from San Diego since De. 5, 1996. 

Jack was a 15-year-old with a slight build when he went missing. In 2012, an age-progression image was created to show what he might look like as a 31-year-old. 

There no information available regarding the details of his disappearance. Jack is white, has brown hair and brown eyes, and has a scar near his left eye. He was 5-feet tall and weighed 99 pounds the last time he was seen.

Authorities say he could still be in the area, and possible using the first name Jason. 

Anyone with information about this case is urged to contact the San Diego Police Department at 619-531-2000.

About this series:

Scores of cases throughout San Diego County go unsolved by local law enforcement investigators each year. A teen thought to be a runaway has still not come home. A dangerous parolee goes missing. A parent in a custody dispute kidnaps the children. A family member who is homeless and mentally ill disappears off the street. A loved one is murdered and there are few clues or no suspect.

No matter what the circumstances, police and relatives continue to search for those who are missing and wanted. They want the son, sister, or husband home. They want justice for the victims of crimes. They want the bad guys behind bars.

Each day in October, our Patch sites will feature a different person who is missing and wanted in San Diego County. Look at their pictures. Have you seen them? Do you have information that might help them be located, or identify a suspect?
