Case Story |
|
| |
Florida Boys Disappear From School |
|
| |
Mark Degner, 12-years-old, did not come home after school on February 10, 2005. He is thought to be with Bryan Hayes, 13-years-old. Authorities consider both boys endangered runaways.
Mark's grandmother, Darlene Briggs, passed out flyers of the boys, pleading for information. Preston Degner, Mark's father, searched 20 hours a day in the first weeks after the two boys went missing, but could not find any answers. |

Boys Planned On Running Away |
|
| |
Degner and his friend Hayes were thought to have been sighted on Main St. and 32nd in Jacksonville, Fla. soon after their disappearance. This was not the only time the boys were seen. A passerby claimed seeing the boys in a wooded area beyond Hammond Park behind the Paxon Middle School. Also, people have said they have spotted the boys at a trailer park on the Northside.
After the sightings of the boys many search efforts have been made--a JSO chopper has been out searching the areas, but no concrete evidence was ever found.
The boys had apparently told friends that they planned on running away. The parents of the boys said that they had heard nothing to that effect. In the past, the boys have not run away for more than 24 hours or traveled more than two miles.
Police received a clue from a Jacksonville resident. She claims her nephew was planning on running away with the two boys. Her nephew knew of a spot Mark and Bryan might want to go. The police followed the boy's instruction and searched a rural neighborhood of Jacksonville--"Birdville." Police were still empty handed when the search ended.
Mark requires daily medication for kidney problems and high blood pressure. |

Family Says Boy's Health At Risk |
|
| |
Preston Degner is especially worried about his son's health. Mark requires daily medication that he does not have with him. Both Mark and Bryan are developmentally delayed and they both take medication for bipolar disorder. Bryan also suffers from high blood pressure and kidney problems. Not only is their safety at risk, but also their health.
A $10,000 reward has been issued by the Justice Coalition for anyone that has information concerning the disappearance of Mark and Bryan. |
