Missing teen found dead after bike ride in Palm Beach Gardens
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (CBS12) — Palm Beach Gardens police say a teen who vanished Monday night has been found dead.
Ryan Rogers, 14, left on a bike ride and never returned home.
Police said Ryan left his home in the Alton Community at 6:39 p.m.
In a Facebook post, Cindy Rogers said it was not like her son to just vanish.
"It's very devastating. It hits a little close to home being that its close to my home and I have two children around the same age," said Mariela Gorman, one of Ryan's neighbor.
On Tuesday, police converged on an area of Central Boulevard, just south of Hood Road.
Police found his body and bicycle near the Central Boulevard sidewalk and I-95 overpass.
Dwyer High School sent a notice out to parents that a student had died in an accident and asked that the family be given privacy.
No word yet on a cause of death.
A friend set up a gofundme page for the family, calling Ryan "a beautiful soul with nothing but love in his heart."
