Hi I would love to know if there’s any new leads or updates about Eric’s case. The police has failed us. And if anyone knows how to open up the case again please contact me.

Eric H. Yoon, a 20-year-old sophomore at Rutgers University’s New Brunswick campus, was last seen in Englewood, New Jersey, on December 14, 2012. Law enforcement reported early on that he appeared to have left voluntarily after the fall semester and did not suspect foul play; Englewood’s Deputy Chief of Police said Eric wanted to be missing and had chosen not to return home. Friends grew worried when they couldn’t reach him.

Digital activity shows Eric deactivated his Facebook account before final exams and did not reactivate it; his last known online login was to the gaming platform Steam on December 18, 2012. He is described as an Asian male with brown hair and brown eyes, about 5 feet 5 inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall, 150 to 190 pounds, sometimes wearing glasses, with a small scar on his forehead and a larger scar on his right upper elbow. He was last believed to be wearing a black Seiko watch.

The case was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System as MP19048, but active searching by police was later halted based on the voluntary-departure assessment. The reasons behind his decision to leave, if that was the case, remain unclear. Anyone who knew Eric or has information about his movements around December 2012 is asked to come forward.
