The family and close friends of University of Central Florida student Sebastian Gonzalez have filed a missing person’s report with UCFPD on the disappearance of their son and fellow Knight.
Gonzalez was last seen early Thursday morning around 9 a.m. by his roommate in the Libra community, where he dormed throughout the semester.
Sebastian’s car was located by UCFPD Friday afternoon in Parking Garage-B unattended, according to the parents of Gonzalez.
Internet phone access was checked by the family upon realizing Gonzalez’s phone went straight to voicemail after repeated calls, informing that the last recorded use came around 10 a.m. the same morning, an hour after being last seen.
The phone has yet to be used since his disappearance, nor has Sebastian been seen by family, friends or roommates. The parents stated ‘Sebastian lived by that phone,’ to describe their concern in the search for their son and Knight.
Regional hospitals and Sebastian’s group of friends have been contacted by the family where answers have yet to be found.
UCFPD has been reported to be in possession of a photograph of the student to aid in the missing person’s search. Any information on the disappearance should go to the University of Central Florida Police Department.
