Search for missing 8-year-old boy expands to Kansas City

10 February 2023

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The search for a missing 8-year-old boy expands to the Kansas City metro.

FBI agents in Vancouver, Washington, searched a home in June after members of the community became concerned for the welfare of 8-year-old Breadson John. The boy also goes by the name “Brxsan.”

He was not at the home and agents have not been able to locate the child.

Vancouver police say John’s grandparents were his last known guardians.

In a statement posted online last month, Vancouver police said prosecutors charged Breadson’s grandparents with custodial interference, and are suspects in his disappearance.

Since June 2022, Vancouver Police Detectives have attempted to contact multiple family members to determine if Breadson is with family or is truly missing. To date, the family members that have been contacted have not provided investigators information related to the whereabouts of Breadson and he has not been located.

The FBI’s Kansas City office believes Breadson may have traveled here in August, and could still be in the immediate area.

Anyone who has information about his whereabouts is asked to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or online at tips.fbi.gov.
