Months after autistic man goes missing, family holds onto hope when he's spotted on doorbell cam

Community members are rallying in a powerful show of support to find Jonathan Hoang, a 21-year-old autistic man from Arlington who disappeared four months ago.

His family, with the help of national advocates including the Gabby Petito Foundation, is determined to bring him home safely.

"We need help finding Jonathan, and we can’t do it by ourselves," said Thao Hoang, Jonathan's father.

More than 120 days have passed since Jonathan vanished from his family's home, with no trace of him found save for a brief sighting in late June. His family continues to search for answers.

The "Honk and Wave" rally, held at the corner of Broadway and Hewitt in Everett, aimed to raise awareness of Jonathan's disappearance and demonstrate community unity. National groups like the Gabby Petito Foundation and 'Light the Way' joined local volunteers to spread awareness.

Jonathan, who is autistic and verbal but considered vulnerable, was last credibly sighted just over a month ago on a home security camera in Kirkland. His family believes he is still alive and in need of help.

Family and supporting organizations have also stated they believe Jonathan was most likely coerced or taken from his home.
