Wylie sent their top administrators to join the search that they are optimistic will end well.
"We're hoping he just got on the wrong bus maybe ended up at the wrong hotel and he's scared to come back because he thinks he'll be in trouble," said Ian Halperin with Wylie ISD.
Wylie ISD realeased the following statement:
The Wylie ISD has been in contact with Stephen's parents and at this time they have asked for prayers for his safe return. In addition, information about Stephen has been posted on Wylie High School's Facebook page. The event sponsors, Butler University Police and the Indianapolis Metro Police Department have assured us that they are working hard to ensure Stephen's safe return.
Our thoughts and prayers are for the safe return of Stephen.
Anyone with any information about Stephen may call the police non-emergency number at 317.327.3811 or 911.
