Jonathan Hoang, Autistic Endangered Young Man, Is Still Missing!

Jonathan Hoang is Autistic and, though physically now 22 years old, is cognitively much like a very young child. He has cognitive and communication limitations. He is believed to have been lured and abducted from his Arlington neighborhood on the evening of Sunday, March 30th, 2025 between 7:30 to 8:00 pm and prior to 6:00 am the next morning (Monday) by a party or parties unknown. Searches that included trained dogs were conducted in his neighborhood and his scent was tracked to the sidewalk near his cul-de-sac, indicating he did not leave the sidewalk and entered a vehicle. Everything about his disappearance was an anomaly: Jonathan did not have a history of elopement, he never left his house without alerting his parents (both of whom were home), he never left without his coat or hoodie, he always took his cell phone. He did none of these things. Also an anomaly – he took his iPad, which has no connectivity and only worked on his home’s wifi; it does not have a “Find My Device” or similar feature and doesn’t have connection so that it would ping and provide a location.

Jonathan was sighted 90 days later and 50 miles from his home, caught on security camera footage from at least three different properties in the Kirkland, South Juanita neighborhood around June 30th of 2025. There was several minutes’ worth of footage and Jonathan was positively identified by his family as well as therapists, school staff and others who have known/worked with him for many years. Although positively identified, SCSO informed Kirkland PD that the young man on the footage was not Jonathan and as a result, the Kirkland PD ceased the full SAR effort they had been coordinating. The family and some volunteers were left to search for Jonathan on their own – as they have been relegated to doing from the start. Jonathan was not located during that search and there have been no confirmed sightings since.

There *have* been sightings, however, without a photo or video, the family hasn’t been able to confirm whether the individual being reported is Jonathan. In many cases, there has been no police response to the reported sighting area – luckily, many of the people who have called law enforcement or Crime Stoppers with to report a possible sighting have also posted to social media, community groups or to Jonathan’s family’s FB page.

The family and volunteer group continues to look for Jonathan. They ask the following:

* Please share this to every social media platform
* Please check your security camera footage regularly and ask that your company, family & friends do as well
* Please print – or request from the family/volunteer group – flyers, coffee cup sleeves, or drink coasters – and hang or distribute in your neighborhood
* Be on the lookout for Jonathan and be aware he may not be alone

If you think you see Jonathan:
* Note the exact location and call 911
* Take at least one photo or video so the family has an opportunity to confirm whether it is Jonathan
* If possible, keep him in sight until law enforcement arrives; officers have said that “by the time they arrived” to the reported sighting location, the individual was no longer there
* Jonathan is very gentle and very sweet, so if you feel safe enough to do so, approach the young man
* Jonathan should be able to identify himself as Jonathan Hoang but *** please do not use this as a “test” of whether the young man is Jonathan. Trauma and anxiety hugely impacts communication skills
* Last but not least, please also message the family directly via their public FB page at “Help Us Find Jonathan Hoang – Endangered & Missing Person” https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575099717193
or https://findjonathanhoang.com/report-sighting/

Jonathan cannot make it to safety or to his family and home without assistance.

He does not know his full address, his family’s phone numbers, he has no ID or money, he has no cell phone, he is unlikely to approach others voluntarily to ask for help, he does not know how to use public transportation.

All photos, videos, flyers, media coverage, case information and more can be found at the site: www.FindJonathanHoang.com.

The family always welcomes volunteer help and there is an awareness campaign taking place this week with a candlelight vigil in this weekend; Please join at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/591351907038265
