Horng-Chang Ke, a 49-year-old man, was navigating a difficult period in his life in the university town of State College, Pennsylvania. The challenges for Horng-Chang, who also went by the name Evin Ke, escalated in 2013 when he was evicted from his residence on Waupelani Drive. The following year, in 2014, he was encountered by Penn State University Police in a campus building, appearing to be experiencing homelessness. This was the last confirmed physical sighting of him, though the exact date is unclear. His life in the years that followed is pieced together through sparse digital footprints and distant family contact. These circumstances paint a concerning picture of a man disconnected from his previous life and facing significant personal hardships. Communication with Horng-Chang became increasingly infrequent in the years following his eviction. His family, a crucial support system, last had phone contact with him in March of 2016, two full years after he was seen on the Penn State campus. This last conversation marked the end of direct verbal communication with his loved ones, leaving them with unanswered questions and growing worry. His digital presence also faded. The final post on his Facebook account, under the name Evin Ke, was in October 2016. After this, his online activity ceased, creating a void where there was once a connection, however tenuous, to the world. The timeline of Horng-Chang Ke's disappearance is marked by a gradual fading from view, both physically and digitally. The initial event of his eviction in 2013, followed by the 2014 encounter with police that suggested he was without a home, were early indicators of his vulnerable situation. The subsequent two years leading up to the final phone call with his family in March 2016 and his last social media post in October 2016 represent a period of deepening obscurity. The lack of any contact or sightings since that time has left his case open and his loved ones without answers. The overview of this case reveals a man who, after facing housing instability, slowly disconnected from his family and social networks, ultimately vanishing from the community he once called home.
