Dear Students, Faculty and Staff:

I am writing this afternoon to request your assistance in locating a missing member of our campus community.

Allan Gonzalez, a senior in the College of Engineering and Computer Science, was last seen in the City of Syracuse on January 18, 2020. No one has heard from him since. We are deeply concerned about his safety and well-being.

Allan is 22-years-old, and described as 5’11’, 175 pounds with black hair, brown eyes and a medium complexion. He resides off-campus.

The Syracuse Police Department is the lead agency on this case and is currently conducting a missing person investigation. If you have any information about Allan’s whereabouts, please immediately contact the Syracuse Police Department at 315.442.5222.

Sincerely,
Chief Bobby Maldonado

Requesting Your Assistance - Department of Public Safety – Syracuse University

CNYCentral spoke with Gonzalez's roommate, Joseph Urie, who says they had just gone out to dinner that night. Gonzalez told Urie he wasn't planning on doing anything that night, but while in his own room, Urie says he heard a guest in Gonzalez's room.

"We're aware that he was with someone, but we have no idea who she is or what she looks like," said Urie.

Urie says when he went to check on Gonzalez Sunday morning, he wasn't in his room. Urie gave him the benefit of the doubt, as it was a three-day weekend. But, he says it was odd for him, as he was trying to contact the person he had just been contacting less than 24 hours ago, and no response.

From the above article - he could be vulnerable post head-injury and with the subsequent mood disorder/anxiety. Maria is his mom.

Gonzalez was traumatized after an encounter with police last year, his mother said.
New York State Police charged Gonzalez with second-degree burglary Sept. 1 after he allegedly crashed a car in Jefferson County, broke into a nearby home and invited a person over to have sex and drink alcohol, according to Syracuse.com.

Maria disputes the police and media’s account of the incident. She maintains he entered the house after crashing his car to get help and fell asleep due to a head injury.
The incident was very disturbing for Gonzalez, and she suggested her son see a therapist after, Maria said.

“After the accident, all these things started disturbing him. He had fights with his girlfriend often and it was no big deal, but now the smallest little situation would get him really, really sad and really, really depressed.”

Oh no. This is not sounding good at all. I pray this boy is okay and can get the help he needs to feel better.

Allan's mother tells CNY Central:
  • Police are telling her that Allan might have fallen into Onondaga Creek.
  • They said they could not locate a body but found a baseball cap that belonged to Allan near the creek.
  • Street camera footage shows he was headed toward the creek but does not show where he continued walking.
  • Police told her witnesses heard someone screaming near Onondaga Creek, asking for help.
  • Allan's debit card was left behind at Al's Whiskey and Wine Bar.

Here's the one article on the burglary charges I could find. There is no mention of a head injury from his vehicle striking a trailer before he entered the home.

What we know about the search for missing SU student Allan Gonzalez: Still no body found
Allan Gonzalez's family says they've seen the surveillance video that shows Gonzalez stumbling and falling into Onondaga Creek.

911 calls from 3:30 a.m. Sunday morning state authorities were called to Onondaga Creek after a security guard saw and heard someone yelling for help.

[...]

That first search lasted until 5:18 a.m. in the morning.

[...]

Syracuse police told CNYCentral Sunday night there have been several searches of the creek walk area since Sunday.

[...]

Police say there were other searches this past week, but haven't detailed where.

But the family doesn't think enough has been done.

[...]

The family tells CNYCentral they spoke to Chief Kenton Buckner, and claim the next search, because of the weather, won't be until Friday.

We've reached out to Syracuse police to get more information on past and future searches.

Sorry everybody. I misunderstood a post. I thought he was located. I would love, by some miracle, for him to be ok.

Missing Syracuse student's father shares heartbreak: "It's not easy to lose a son"
[...]

"Please help me recover the body. I want my son to rest in peace. That’s all," Gonzalez said.

Gonzalez says that his son was his life, and he was immensely proud of him.

"I’m really devastated. And then I keep hearing different stories. And I was back and forth back and forth from New Jersey trying to find answers," he shared. "I have...I have no words. My son is my life. I was so proud of him. He was about to graduate, and sorry I’m breaking down."

[...]

"A lot. Every day. Every day. Just asking God to make me more strong because it’s not easy. It’s not easy to lose a son," he said. "Wherever you are Allan. I love you. I’m always gonna remember. I have good memories. It was two weeks ago I dropped you off and you gave me a big hug. I’m never gonna forget."

:(:(:(
