Arlington community rallies, a family waits for news on missing man
EVERETT — Blue balloons floated above a sea of handmade signs Saturday afternoon — including “Justice for Jonathan,” “Step up Major Crimes,” “Investigate like it’s your family.” A crowd of about 40 people gathered on each corner of Smokey Point Boulevard and 172nd St. NE in Arlington to raise awareness for Jonathan Hoang.
Thirteen days have passed since the 21-year-old went missing, and his disappearance remains a mystery.
Hoang, who is autistic, vanished the night of March 30 after heading to bed at his family’s home in Arlington. He left barefoot, without his jacket or phone. He was last seen wearing a green shirt and khaki pants.
This was highly out of character for Hoang, agreed several family members, educators and neighbors at the protest. He rarely left home without permission, and his daily walks were predictable — always the same route, always on the pavement.
