The Oklahoma County Sheriffs Office needs your help finding a missing 17-year-old boy who has been missing since Saturday around 4 p.m. Jay Cross was last seen as his home near Britton and Peebly. Deputies say he has autistic tendencies and may have run off after being disciplined by his parents.
Neighbors tell Fox 25 Cross comes from a loving family and has a need for everything to be in perfect order. That characteristic is now helping to guide search and rescue teams.
“Because of his need for orderliness we don’t think he’s going to use the interstate,” said Oklahoma County Sheriff John Whetsel,
“But he would be on Hefner Road, Memorial Road, Britton Road.”
Deputies said Cross is a long distance runner and has the stamina to put a significant distance between himself and his home.

Officials say if you do see Cross, you need to approach the situation carefully.
“If you see this young man, don’t necessarily approach him but just call us and tell us where he’s at, keep your eyes on him,” Whetsel said, “He’s not violent or anything but because of his autistic tendencies he doesn’t approach strangers.”
Deputies say Cross was last seen wearing a red shirt, blue jeans and black boots. He is 5’7″ and weighs 125 pounds. If you know anything, please contact the Oklahoma County Sheriffs Office at (405) 713-1000
