Missing Teen With Disabilities May Have Changed Clothes: Police

Police outside Philadelphia released a new photo Friday as they and the FBI continued the search for a missing teenager with developmental disabilities.

John Thomas Parker, 14, walked away from the Devereux Leo Kanner Learning Center in West Chester, Pennsylvania around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday and hasn’t been seen since. The Learning Center is a facility for children with intellectual or developmental disabilities.

West Whiteland Township Police say Parker, who stands around 5-foot, 7-inches tall and weighs around 110 pounds, may have walked to a nearby train station to try and leave the area. Officials notified his family who live in Washington, D.C.

Parker was captured on surveillance video as he was leaving the facility. He was wearing a T-shirt, jeans and black sneakers. He was also carrying a bright green backpack.
