Family Raises Concern Over Teen's Medical Needs
A public appeal from Lee’s mother, Danielle Lee, said the teenager is type 1 diabetic and left with his diabetic supplies and some food.
She expressed concern about his ability to manage his condition independently and asked the community to help bring him home safely. The sheriff’s department has separately confirmed that Lee has a medical condition requiring medication.
Because the family’s specific medical details came from a public family statement, they should be distinguished from the sheriff’s department’s more general description of a medical condition requiring medication.
Two Adults Arrested in Connection With Investigation
The investigation has also resulted in the arrests of Daniella Lee-Sharp, 39, and Michael “Mike” Menzie, 43, according to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department and local reporting.
Authorities said both were taken into custody on felony child-abuse charges. The sheriff’s department identified Ryker as the victim of those charges. The two adults also face additional child-abuse counts related to the living conditions of two other children in the home.
The Arizona Department of Child Safety has taken custody of the two younger children, according to the sheriff’s department.
The arrests are part of the broader investigation and do not establish that either person caused Ryker’s disappearance. Authorities have continued searching for the missing teenager.
