DENVER — Police are offering a $2,000 reward for tips that will help in their search for a missing Denver teen not seen since late last year.

Diego R. Hernandez, 13, was spotted by surveillance camera putting on a jacket, grabbing a bike, and then hopping over the fence of his home in the early morning hours of Dec. 1, 2023. He hasn’t been seen since.

His mom, Heather Hernandez, told law enforcement that prior to his disappearance, the family was having “a normal night.”

The family ate dinner together and everyone went to bed. The next morning, the boy was nowhere to be seen.
