Authorities continue to seek information on the whereabouts of an Orofino teenager who disappeared Saturday night.

The Orofino Police Department says 17-year-old Kristian Perez was reported missing by his mother after he left his high school prom at the National Guard Armory at about 9:30 p.m. Saturday.

Perez was apparently driven to the prom by a relative, whose vehicle was located by police.  Perez’s tuxedo jacket, a shoe, and his broken cellphone were recovered near the vehicle.

A canine tracking team was able to follow Perez’s scent from the armory West to a nearby parking lot along U.S. Highway 12, but the track was lost there, where police believe Perez may have entered a vehicle.  He also may have been sighted in the Lewiston area.

Orofino police are asking anyone with information to call (208) 476-5551.
