Shane's family believes he is still near the family home in Romulus, located in Wayne County. Perhaps being illegally hidden by adults. In Michigan, it is illegal to harbor a juvenile runaway. Those found to be doing so could be handed felony or serious misdemeanor charges that could result in several months of jail time and substantial fines.

At the time Shane was last seen he was described as a 16-year-old white male, standing 5 feet and 6 inches tall, weighing approximately 180 pounds, with blonde hair, and brown eyes. His family says that he may have longer or shorter hair now compared to the photos included. He has a heartbeat tattoo on the inside of his left arm and has both ears pierced.

When Shane was last seen he took his black NIKE duffle bag with him. Home security footage captured an SUV picking Shane up at his residence. His family has not seen him since.

Anyone with information on Shane McLaughlin's whereabouts or disappearance is asked to contact the Romulus Police Department at 734-941-8400.
