The Potter County Sheriff's Office reported Jaydn Gonzales was last seen by his father and stepmother around 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, his 14th birthday at 105 Rim Ranch Drive. Officials said the father believes Jadyn is with his mother Alyssa Luna, a resident of Hereford. They do not believe he's in danger but the father is concerned for his son's safety, authorities report.
