Submitted by paula on Tue, 11/06/2018 - 8:26pm
A 13-year-old boy missing from the Placerville area was spotted near Motel 6 in South Lake Tahoe Tuesday, but by the time law enforcement he had left the area.
Patrick Siebenthaler ran away after school on September 24,. 2018 He has done that before and normally returned after a day or two, but this time he hasn't been seen or heard from in over five weeks. Patrick fled without having any extra clothing, money or supplies to utilize as one may do when it's planned.
According to authorities, Siebenthaler has substance abuse problems and there is extreme concern he can be manipulated and/or abused during his efforts to obtain food, money or shelter. Contacts and family that Patrick has reached out to in the past have not seen or heard from him which raises the concerns for the potential danger Patrick may be in due to the extended time frame he has been missing for.
He has some ties to the South Lake Tahoe community.
Patrick is 5'3" to 5'6" tall, 140 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.
If anyone has any information regarding Patrick and his whereabouts please contact El Dorado County Sheriff's Office Detective Perez at 530-642-4720. If Patrick is seen contact El Dorado County Sheriff's Office Dispatch at 530-621-6600 or 911 for the area he is seen in. Reference El Dorado County Sheriff's Office case EG18-8581. X1379
