I'm concerned for this young man.

Very worrisome, especially since he has special needs. Hoping someone has at least found his bicycle -- that might help a bit.
From Independence to Cleveland is about 9.5 miles. Does he have friends or family in Cleveland?
He's been missing for five days. Hoping for good news soon.
Saying a prayer for him.

UPDATE: Cleveland police have canceled an alert for a missing 22-year-old man who hasn't been seen since May 22.
He is 6 feet tall and weighs 150 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes.
According to police, he was last seen leaving McDonald's in Independence at 3 p.m. after his shift.
He was wearing his work uniform and riding a bike.
According to his coworkers, it's unusual for him to miss work or not stop in on his days off.
Edit to add: Family is questioning if it's him or not. IMO

Coroner confirmed it is him. This is within the last 24 hours. Very sad. Took 4 days to identify him.

The coroner had listed his death as suicide by hanging. Extremely sad. His father (same name) died 12 years ago in the same manner.
