The reward for finding missing 21-year-old Jonathan Hoang, who has a developmental disability, has increased to $100,000 following a donation from a Florida businessman. Hoang was possibly seen on surveillance video in Kirkland last week, prompting community search efforts and calls for residents to check security cameras.
SNOHOMISH COUNTY, Wash. - The reward to find Jonathan Hoang, a 21-year-old who disappeared from Snohomish County on March 30, is now at $100,000.
Hoang, who has a developmental disability, was possibly spotted on surveillance video in Kirkland last week, months after he went missing.
As his family holds onto hope, they and Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound are offering a $10,000 reward. But now, that reward has been raised to $100,000.
Earl Stewart, owner of Earl Stewart Toyota in Lake Park, Florida, saw Jonathan's story and added $90,000 to the tipster fund.
Hoang's family and volunteers distributed flyers in the Kirkland area on Wednesday, and a community search has been organized for Thursday night.
The Autism Foundation is asking the community to take 15 minutes at 8 p.m. to step outside and call out for Jonathan. They ask the public to call out loudly, "Jonathan, we're here to help you!" and walk around for 10-15 minutes, checking front yards, backyards and nearby properties.
The Kirkland community is also urged to check home security cameras for any clues that could help find Jonathan.
Any information that can help bring Jonathan home can be submitted through Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), or through the P3 Tips App. You can remain anonymous.
The Source: Information in this story came from NBC News, the Autism Foundation, the family of Jonathan Hoang and FOX 13 Seattle reporting.
