SALT LAKE CITY — A 15-year-old boy from Kaysville who was reported missing has been found, Kaysville police reported.

Until Wednesday, the boy was last seen at a convenience store in Yermo, California, at 5 p.m. Monday. He stayed at the gas station until about 7 p.m., according to surveillance footage obtained by his parents, who drove to gas stations south of Las Vegas asking clerks if he looked familiar.

His parents notified police in Utah, Nevada and California, his mother, Renee Hansen, said.

"We are desperate to find him," she said Tuesday. The teen left his phone at home, so tracking him was difficult.

He withdrew all of the cash in his debit account in St. George after buying CDs in a Target store there, his mother said.

His family reached someone through Facebook who ran his license plate and determined he pulled into a southern California town about 7 p.m. Tuesday, about four hours before his parents had pulled over there to rest for a little.

The boy had once mentioned to a friend he might head to California someday. He enjoyed Venice Beach and Santa Monica on a family trip a few years ago, so his parents believe either spot may have been his destination.
