NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA — The New Hanover County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help in locating Kayne “Caleb” Gennodie, an 18-year-old who has been reported missing. Authorities and family members are growing increasingly concerned for his safety and are urging anyone with information to come forward.

Kayne “Caleb” Gennodie is described as a White male, approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing around 200 pounds, with a medium build. He has red, medium-length hair, brown eyes, and distinctive scars on both arms, which may help with identification. At the time he was last seen, Caleb was wearing a camouflage hoodie and white sweatpants.

According to the sheriff’s office, Caleb was last seen on January 25, 2026, at approximately 800 Piner Road, near Myrtle Grove Presbyterian Church. Since that time, there has been no confirmed contact, and efforts to locate him have so far been unsuccessful. Caleb is known to have attended New Hanover High School, and investigators believe he may still be in the local area, though this has not been confirmed.
