Cajun Navy Travels To Oklahoma To Find Missing Boy — Brings Him Home Safe

January 14, 2026

A happy ending came for 12-year-old Ryan “RJ” Davis, who was recently found safe in Oklahoma thanks to the efforts of the United Cajun Navy.

Nine days after being reported missing by his mother and stepfather, RJ was found safe indoors, unharmed, and warmly embraced by his rescuers.

Authorities believe RJ ran away to seek safety away from his parents’ home.

“He gave us a hug and we told him that he was safe and nobody was going to harm him anymore, and he gave us a big hug and he was ready to go eat some pizza,” said Thomas Gentile of the United Cajun Navy.

Local authorities confirmed RJ is now in a safe environment, and he will not be returning to the property where he was previously living.

The community played a key role in bringing RJ home.

“I asked for the media’s help and we got it,” said Chickasha Police Chief Goebel Music. “How I know that to be true is that where I met and spoke with RJ, when I was hugging him, he said, ‘Hey, I saw you on the news.’ So, what you did worked.”
