Iulian Florin Duna was 27 when he vanished from the Auburn area of South King County, Washington. He was last seen on May 3, 2006, at the Federal Way home of a Romanian family where he and his girlfriend were staying temporarily. Witnesses say he left that night on a bicycle and was never heard from again.

A graduate of an art college in Romania and a graphic artist hoping to work in video game graphics, Iulian had arrived in the U.S. in January 2006 and stayed briefly in New York City and Las Vegas before coming to the Seattle area. He is described as a white male, about 6 feet 2 inches, 165 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes and a piercing in his left ear. Friends and family recall a tense relationship with his girlfriend and say he was upset after an argument the night he disappeared.

The King County Sheriff’s Office handles the investigation and the case remains open. If anyone knew Iulian, saw him on or after May 3, 2006, or has information about his movements that night, please come forward.
