JEFFREY SCOTT MOONEY - 15 yo - Sheridan MI

Calhoun County Sheriff's Deputies responded to a missing teenager complaint around 7:30 Wednesday night.
They say 15-year-old Jeffrey Scott Mooney walked away from the Starr Commonwealth in the 13000 block of 26 Mile Rd. in Sheridan Township.

They say he left a note stating that he was leaving and would not be returning.




Mooney is described as a white male, 5'9" tall, 178 lbs., with blue eyes and short, light brown hair.
Deputies spent several hours searching the area for the missing teen after learning he has a medical condition and because of the cold temperatures. At one point the Michigan State Police brought in a helicopter with a heat sensor system, and tracking dogs both from the Springfield Department of Public Safety and Michigan State Police.

Throughout the investigation deputies found out that the teen had spent four months in an outdoor wilderness survival class in Utah, and did have warm, thermal clothing on when he left.


If anyone has seen or has any information on the whereabouts of Mooney, please contact the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office.
