I know this area well. It’s largely upscale and residential and considered safe, at least compared to some other areas of the city. Am understanding correctly that he was last seen near Wagshal’s at 4:43 PM but his last known location was in Rockville less than an hour later? Was he driving? Metro?

Super - it's always helpful for local input on a thread.

I hope he's located safe today.
Do I have this correct: he was with friends on Thursday afternoon and said he'd be home Thursday night but never arrived?
If so, key will obviously be where he was going next after separating from friends.

I think this is very concerning and wonder about how he perceived things were going with his studies.

I wonder what he had with him. Anything that could be tracked -- laptop, cell phone, Smart watch, vehicle, etc?

MOO, but I’m guessing that the Rockville location might have been from Find My or a device location. The phrasing of him being “last seen in person” in DC, with a last known location in MD, makes me think that. Interesting distinction.

I could have missed a mention of something else that would establish location without him being actually seen/witnessed (like cameras, visitor records, etc), though.

He does appear to be an upstanding young man and student.

FWIW I have friends who lived in DC long term and they also confirm that Wagshal's is in a nicer area, apparently not too far from the university. So while of course it's always possible that a random criminal strayed into the area, such a person would probably have been spotted. Also, KE was likely on "home turf" with it being close to the university, and IMO wouldn't easily have gotten lost and wound up in a bad area by accident.

Why was he in Rockville? Who/what was he going to see/do?

Seems he would have mentioned this to someone....
