Palm Bay Teen Missing Since Monday, Mother Seeks Community’s Help

PALM BAY, FL – The mysterious disappearance of 15-year-old Jeremiah Miranda early Monday morning has left his mother desperate for answers and seeking the community’s assistance.

Ring doorbell camera footage from the family’s home captured Jeremiah Miranda as he departed around 9:38 AM on Monday, presumably for Bayside High School. His mother says that he never made it to school that day. Security footage shows Jeremiah wearing a red sweatshirt, black sweatpants, black socks, and white Crocs. According to his mother, he does not own a phone, so he most likely walked around with a tablet.

Initially thinking her son might have been out breaking curfew when he failed to return home, his mother’s concern escalated by Tuesday morning, prompting her to notify the Palm Bay Police Department. As of now, it is unclear whether the police have initiated an official search effort. Jeremiah’s mother says the police assured her on Tuesday that they would put out an alert once the case was documented. However, an official alert regarding Jeremiah’s disappearance has not been located on the Palm Bay Police Department’s website. An alert did go out, according to Jeremiah’s mother, but it was for another 15-year-old in the area. That child has since been found.

At 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing about 175 pounds, Jeremiah has brown eyes and is Hispanic. He was last seen on Ocala Street, around Fitchburg and Degroodt. Notably, footage showed him briefly returning home to lock the door before leaving again, suggesting he was not in a hurry or planning to run away.

Jeremiah’s mother has been actively searching throughout the week but says nobody has seen or heard from him. Even the teen’s girlfriend, contacted by his brother, confirmed he hasn’t been active online or on Instagram, further deepening concerns for his well-being.

Jeremiah’s mother is urging anyone with information to come forward as the search for her son continues.
