Family of missing Snohomish County man hopeful after possible Kirkland sighting

Kirkland, WALocal News

Jonathan Hoang's family is clinging to hope after surveillance footage shows a young man they believe resembles the 21-year-old, missing since March 30. The family describes Jonathan as gentle and nonverbal under stress, making his disappearance particularly alarming. They noted specific details in the video that match Jonathan's behavior, including his posture and vocalizations. Despite this promising lead, the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office has not prioritized search efforts, classifying the case as a missing person report rather than a criminal investigation. The family is frustrated with the lack of action and is urging the community to assist in the search by checking security cameras and joining organized search efforts.

They are offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to Jonathan's safe return. Time is crucial as they fear he may be moving further away from the area. Community members are asked to contact authorities if they believe they've seen him.
