A 16-year-old Culpeper High School student has been missing for six days, says his mother. Brian Mitchell is 5’3" or 5’4", weighs between 120 and 130 pounds, and has blonde hair and blue eyes. His mother, Rebecca McCormick, says that he ran away from his Culpeper home last Friday, taking a black Carhart jacket with him.
"Brian is originally from the Appomattox/Lynchburg area and he may be trying to get back here where his friends are," says McCormick in an e-mail. A missing person report has been filed in Culpeper, and McCormick writes that she is "just trying to make any extra effort I can to locate my son and find out that he is safe."
