Crime Stoppers has teamed with the family of Jonathan Hoang to offer a $10,000 reward for information. The 21-year-old has autism and was last seen March 30.

ARLINGTON, Wash. — It has been two months since Jonathan Hoang disappeared from his home in Arlington without a jacket, his wallet, cell phone or other personal belongings.

Hoang is 21 years old and has autism. His family says he has the innocence and mentality of a younger child.

“He’s the most innocent, sweet person you could meet. He would have trusted anyone that would have presented as a figure of authority, which to him would be any adult,” said Irene Pfister, Hoang’s older sister.

On May 28, the family teamed up with Crime Stoppers to offer a $10,000 reward for information leading to Hoang’s whereabouts.

His family fears he may have been lured by someone.

“If you look at the circumstances surrounding his disappearance, his departure was completely out of his norm. He didn’t bring any of the normal things he would bring with him. Everything of his is still at home that he would have packed if he were planning to leave,” Pfister said.

The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office says there is currently no evidence to indicate a crime occurred, but detectives have not ruled out any possibilities, include the potential of foul play.

Hoang’s family has pushed the agency to take more action. 

“It feels like at every turn, we keep hitting roadblock after roadblock after roadblock,” Pfister said. “I don’t know. I think about it all the time. I don’t know if he’s dead or if he’s alive.”

Since his disappearance, anyone with information about Hoang’s whereabouts has been urged to call 911. 

Tips can be left anonymously through Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound by phone at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), online, or via the P3 Tips app.
