The missing teen Archie Klatos has been photographed for the first time in 5 years.









He's certainly not DEAD.

Yesterday morning, the photograph you see before you was taken. It found its way onto the desk of our senior editor last night. He turned it over to the Chagrin PD who allowed us to publish it this morning. And what is this photo before you? This photograph is the first documented sighting of Archie Klatos since his disappearance, in 2015.

















It is entirely too early to assess the authenticity of this photograph. Even senior Archives devision member Isaac Mitchum says an expert could not trace its legitimacy in so short a time. "Had an expert been on this since it turned up over 24 hours ago, we still wouldn't have an answer by now. And we've only just started analyzing it. I will say this; we haven't yet found any similar photograph in any official or private archive. In short, it'd be hard as hell to fake this photo without us knowing about it."





Does this mean Mitchum believes Klatos is alive? "Hard to say at this point. I don't even have a hunch. All I know for sure is a lot is about to change, in regards to both this investigation and what we assumed to know about it."





“All I know for sure is a lot is about to change.”

If this find IS authenticated, it raises many frightening questions: Why is he so calm? Why does he look so healthy and physically stable for someone who's been missing for 5 years? Why does he seem so casual for someone who's taken the entire world by storm? Why is he avoiding public attention? What was Klatos so occupied with for 5 years that he couldn't be bothered to remind anyone he was alive?





This is all assuming he is alive. But then, whether in metaphor or in flesh, in Mitchum's own words:





"He's certainly not DEAD."
