The community of Mandeville, Louisiana stands in deep concern and heartfelt solidarity with the family of Landon Rahaim, the 14-year-old boy who has been missing since November 18, 2025. Landon was last seen near 946 Dupard Street in Mandeville, and since that moment, countless family members, neighbors, friends, and community members have united in prayer, support, and hope for his safe return.
At just 14, Landon is known by those closest to him as an exceptionally bright, kind, witty, and athletic young man—someone full of promise, potential, and goodness. To the neighbors who watched him grow, he was not just a child next door, but a cherished part of their extended family. They remember him as thoughtful, funny, serious when needed, and always full of life.

Their words reflect a profound love and devotion—one that is unwavering even in the face of fear and uncertainty. Expressions of heartbreak from former neighbors, family friends, and community members all echo the same plea: that Landon be found safe, protected, and brought home to the people who care for him immeasurably.
Landon’s family has courageously asked the public for help, urging anyone with information to contact the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Department. Their strength during this unimaginable time has been met with an outpouring of compassion, prayers, and community support. Those who knew Landon as a child—and those who have only just learned his story—are holding him close in their thoughts, hoping for his safety and well-being.
