Elijah Jordan Riedlinger, 44, was last seen on December 21, 2020, leaving Clare’s Place, a supportive housing facility in Everett, Washington. Surveillance video captured him departing that day; there has been no confirmed contact since. Known as Jo, he is described as a White male, 5 feet 10 inches, about 165 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a gray windbreaker with white lettering, a brown sweatshirt, black jeans over bright orange or red sweatpants, and white sneakers.

Elijah has a diagnosis of schizophrenia and reportedly was not taking his medication when he disappeared. Reports say he might experience delusions and could believe people were pursuing him, and caution has been advised for anyone who might encounter him. The Everett Police Department opened an investigation two days after he was last seen; his case is listed with the Washington State Patrol’s Missing and Unidentified Persons Unit and in national missing-person databases.

If anyone knew Elijah, saw him around Everett after December 21, 2020, or has information that could help locate him, please come forward.
