Philly Police Search for Missing Teen With Autism

Jeffrey McCollum, 19, was last seen Saturday at 10 a.m. on the 3800 block of N. 17th Street. McCollum suffers from autism and has the learning skill of a 7-year-old, police said.

McCollum is a black male with medium complexion and short black hair standing 5-foot-6 and weighing 126 pounds. He was last seen wearing knee length red pajama pants, a tie dye red, blue, white and yellow Polo shirt, black socks and black Nike sneakers. Family members say they’re unsure where he could’ve gone.

It's been beastly hot in the Philadelphia area for the past five days, and for the past few hours thunderstorms have been rolling through. The physical stresses of that kind of weather are worrisome for someone on the spectrum, with a 7-year-old's grasp of the world.

Another thought that worries me is that if he is similar in interests as well as abilities to 7-year-olds, he may be particularly drawn to trains. His neighborhood is literally surrounded by train tracks and a trainyard, all within a few blocks' walk of his home. (map of area attached.)
