Woodson Similien was 19 when he lost contact with his family in winter 2022; the last known communication was on January 11, 2022. He disappeared from Irvington, New Jersey, and was described at the time as a Black male, 5 feet 6 inches, about 121 pounds, with black hair in short twisted locs and brown eyes.

No one in the reporting family knew Woodson’s friends or regular hangouts, and that lack of background has left a big gap in the timeline after his last contact. More than two years later, a family member reported him missing to the Irvington Police Department on May 10, 2024; the case was logged as agency case number CC-2024-003910 and entered into national missing persons databases.

If anyone saw Woodson around January 11, 2022, or remembers where he might have spent time in Irvington, please contact the Irvington Police Department.
