Eddy Choc Yat, 17, was last seen on March 7, 2023, on Hillcrest Avenue in Gastonia, North Carolina. He is a Hispanic male with brown hair and brown eyes, and is between 5 feet 6 inches and 5 feet 7 inches tall.

Witnesses say Eddy got into an older gray Honda CR-V, estimated 2001–2004, with dark-colored front and rear bumpers. His aunt was with him and reports indicate he entered the vehicle willingly. Later that day Eddy called a family member who lives in another country and said he and his aunt had accepted a ride from an unknown woman and were on their way to Houston, Texas; he said they were fine. No further contact has been made since that call.

The Gastonia Police Department is handling the investigation but leads are limited and the case has gone cold. If anyone in Gastonia, along the route to Houston, or in Houston remembers seeing Eddy, the gray CR-V, or the aunt after March 7, please come forward with information.
