A heartwarming turn of events occurred when a 17-year-old boy, who had been missing for several months and feared dead, was spotted on an influencer’s livestream in Florida.
Troy Coleman went missing in May from Mt. Morris Township, Michigan, causing great distress to his family. His father, Weston Coleman, revealed that Troy suffers from hallucinations and requires medication that he did not have with him. Despite several possible sightings in Michigan, none of them were confirmed.
However, a glimmer of hope emerged when Troy was reportedly seen on influencer FaZe Lacy’s livestream, broadcasting from Miami, 1,200 miles away from where he went missing. The livestream captured the moment when Troy, wearing bright green shorts, walked up to the streamers. The social media influencer, FaZe Lacy, expressed his hope that this public exposure would assist in finding Troy. A video of the encounter was shared online, showing Troy conversing with the streamers before walking away.
Troy’s brother, Trent Coleman, contacted the influencer, confirming that Troy had indeed appeared on the livestream. In an emotional email, Trent revealed that Troy suffers from schizophrenia and was not on drugs. Desperate for help, Trent shared that Troy had been missing for three months and that his case had been classified as a homicide back in Michigan.
Troy is a tall young man, standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing between 165 to 180 pounds. He has striking blue eyes and brown hair. At the time he went missing, Troy was last seen wearing a black hoodie, gray sweatpants, and white slide-on shoes.
The Flint Township Police Department is urging anyone with information about Troy’s whereabouts to contact them at 810-600-3250.
This heartwarming story serves as a reminder of the power of technology and the continued efforts to bring missing individuals back to their loved ones. Let’s hope that Troy’s family can be reunited with him soon.
