Arlington Public Schools, Arlington WA This is Jonathan Hoang, a student in the district's Transitions program. He was last located near Burn Road last night. Please call 911 if you have any information.






According to Jonathan’s family, he left the house sometime between that evening and the morning of Monday, March 31, without a jacket, his shoes, or his phone.

They say this is not typical behavior for him, and are worried he may have gotten in a car with a stranger.

Do they think he left to meet someone? Hopefully he turns up safe today.

His family told KIRO 7 that they believe he left the house, located in Arlington on 114th Drive Northeast, using the back door.

They believe he left with his mother’s slip-on shoes, his iPad, and was last seen wearing a pair of khaki pants and a t-shirt.

If Jonathan’s iPad connects to Wi-Fi, the family would be notified, however, they believe the device has already died.

*****
The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office said crews will continue to search for Hoang throughout Tuesday night and Wednesday early morning.

There are a lot of woods behind the location listed above for his home, and beyond the woods, a river. I wonder if he typically walks in the woods? It doesn't sound like he was dressed properly to be out for long. I hope he's safely located soon.

There is a "help us find" FB, I can't tell who the admin is but family members are being tagged in posts.

“I’m frightened that because of the label, him being autistic,” his sister Irene Hoang Pfister told KIRO 7. “The people searching for him made an assumption, you know, that he just wandered off. But we think that someone took him.”

He's designated as an Endangered Missing Person, yet they called off the search?

What did they find on his electronics?

Social life? Did Jonathan socialize with other young people?

He took his iPad with him. I'm not sure if there were other electronics that he used that were left at home?

The article above from komonews.com said that they had checked his devices that were left at home, so presumably he has some.

"Devices" is rather vague, though.

The family of a missing man with autism has filed a formal complaint against the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office for how his case is being handled.



Upset by the response, the Hoang family contacted the FBI, which KIRO 7 confirmed with the FBI. According to Irene Hoang, the FBI then told the family to file a complaint.
