A New York man mysteriously disappeared just weeks after finishing college and moving to California to start a new job at Netflix.
According to KTVU, Yohanes Kidane, 22, was last seen in security footage leaving his apartment building and entering an Uber vehicle on August 14 in downtown San Jose.
“Two young colleagues of his saw him and were able to talk to him,” Yosief Kidane, Yohanes' brother, said. “He said he was heading to San Francisco to maybe meet a friend. The last footage I’ve seen of him was leaving his apartment building and getting into a black Toyota Camry.”
Yohanes moved to the Bay Area in July and was only in his second week of working as a Netflix software engineer when he went missing. His cell phone, wallet, and backpack were found in San Francisco near the Golden Gate Bridge Welcome Center.
The 22-year-old's mother is distraught over her son's disappearance.
“We want to take him home. I need my son. I need my son,” Mehret Hana Beyene told KTVU. “He’s a good man who has a bright future, very loving to his family.”
Yohanes, who graduated from Cornell University, is 5 foot 8 inches, 150 pounds, and was last seen wearing gray sweatpants, a black hoodie, and black shoes. Anyone who has information on his whereabouts is urged to call the San Jose Police Department at (408) 277-8900 and reference case number 23-227-0531. Relatives can be reached at (585) 489-4880 or 585-500-5220.
