Friends of Breydan painted a picture of a positive, dedicated young man who cared deeply for those around him. He was known for his commitment to academics, his extracurricular involvement, and his ability to lift the spirits of those in his circle. His disappearance has left the community deeply unsettled.
Initial searches of the area surrounding Lutheran Hospital, including nearby streets and parking lots, have yielded no signs of Breydan. Law enforcement officers have canvassed the neighborhood, speaking with witnesses and reviewing security footage from nearby businesses and residences. In a bid to gather more information, the Cleveland Division of Police has called on anyone who may have seen Breydan or has information about his whereabouts to come forward immediately.
The search has expanded to include local volunteers and community organizations. Teams have been organized to comb through parks, alleyways, and other areas surrounding the hospital. Flyers featuring Breydan’s photo and description have been distributed throughout the community, and a social media campaign has been launched to increase awareness and encourage the public to share any tips or sightings.
Breydan is described as approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing around 150 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a gray hoodie, blue jeans, and black sneakers. Authorities are urging the public to contact 911 immediately if they spot someone matching his description, rather than attempting to approach the individual.
The Carr-Cramer family has issued a plea for privacy during this distressing time, while expressing gratitude for the outpouring of support. “Breydan is a bright, compassionate young man. We are desperate to see him safe and back home,” they said in a statement.
