Chu San, 27, was last seen in Gahanna, Ohio on September 2, 2020, while on a personal and spiritual journey studying to become a Buddhist monk. His practice included a vow of silence and occasional long absences from home without informing family, which contributed to a delay before his mother reported him missing on October 26, 2020.

When last seen he was believed to be wearing an orange robe. He is described as an Asian male, about 6 feet 1 inch tall, 143 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. The Gahanna Police Department is handling the investigation; there have been no confirmed sightings or contact since he was last seen, and the delay in reporting complicates the timeline.

If anyone in Gahanna or the surrounding area saw Chu San after September 2, 2020, or has information about his whereabouts, please contact the Gahanna Police Department.
