Erlanger, KY — A desperate search is underway for 60-year-old Johnny Amabile and his young granddaughter, who were last seen in Erlanger, Kentucky, on May 7, 2025. Their unexplained disappearance has left family members deeply concerned, and local authorities are urging the public to help locate them.

Johnny Amabile is described as 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing approximately 220 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He walks with a cane and suffers from a medical condition that may impair his ability to find his way back safely. At the time of his disappearance, he was reportedly accompanied by his young granddaughter, whose name and age have not been disclosed due to privacy concerns. Her safety is now a top priority for investigators and family members alike.

The Erlanger Police Department has launched an active investigation and is working closely with other agencies to follow up on leads. Thus far, no foul play has been confirmed, but the unusual nature of the disappearance, especially involving a child, has heightened urgency in the case.

“This is out of character for Johnny,” said a family spokesperson. “He is a loving grandfather, and he would never intentionally put his granddaughter in danger. We are pleading with the public—if anyone has seen them or knows something, please come forward.”

In response to the situation, family members have turned to social media, local news stations, and community forums to spread the word. Flyers have been distributed throughout the Erlanger and greater Northern Kentucky area. Candlelight vigils and prayer gatherings are being organized to keep the hope alive and support the grieving family during this distressing time.

Local organizations, including volunteer search teams and crisis support groups, have stepped in to offer assistance. “The community is coming together in an incredible way,” said a local pastor who is helping to organize a public awareness event. “But we need eyes everywhere—we need people to remain vigilant.”
