EDMONDS, Wash. -- April 19, 2018 will mark two years since 16-year old Tyler Christensen's mysterious disappearance.



Snohomish County Sheriff's detectives are still looking for the Mukilteo teen. Detectives believe he left his home on his own volition on April 19, 2016 and took the Edmonds/Kingston ferry that night.

In May 2016, Christensen’s backpack was found near the High Steel Bridge near Shelton in Mason County. His DNA and information have been entered in federal databases for missing persons.

Anyone with information about Christensen’s whereabouts can contact the Sheriff’s Office Anonymous TipLine: 425-388-3845 or Crime Stoppers via the P3 Tips App or at www.P3Tips.com.

Here is an update from Tyler's family:


She's praying her brother is alright and hoping he knows how much his family loves him.

"We want Tyler to come home. Whatever's going on. It doesn't matter why he left. We're not mad, we're not upset. We just want to know that he's OK," said Liz.

Tyler is 5-foot-11, 145 pounds with blue eyes and light brown hair in a buzz cut. If you see him, call 911.
