KUALA LUMPUR: The disappearance of Jordan Johnson-Doyle (pic) a week ago has left his family distraught.
The bespectacled, brown-haired Briton was last seen in Healy Mac’s Irish Bar in Bangsar at 8pm last Tuesday, when he sent his best friend Owen a photograph of the pub’s quiz night poster, reported the United Kingdom’s Daily Mail.
The daily reported that the 25-year-old software engineer had been on a solo trip to the Mediterranean and South-East Asia while working remotely for about a year and a half.
The medium-built, 180cm-tall man arrived in Malaysia on May 17 and is believed to have been staying at Robertson Residences Bukit Bintang before vanishing without a trace.
Daily Mail quoted Johnson’s mother, Leanne Burnett, 44, as saying that she first became concerned after failing to reach her son for their daily call last Tuesday. She spoke to him on May 26, talking about their usual work matters, adding that he sounded normal.
Her concern intensified after further attempts to get in touch with her son via phone and social media failed, with her son’s phone believed to have gone dead since May 30.
According to Burnett, based on the “Find My iPhone” tracking service, the phone was last located at a residential flat near Healy Mac’s on May 28.
Burnett and the rest of the Johnson family have since posted on various social media sites for leads on the missing person.
“My son is missing in Kuala Lumpur. Please help us find him; all his family and friends are so worried. Please, please share share share.
“If you have any information, no matter how small, please DM me directly or WhatsApp on +44 7754718679,” wrote Burnett on a Malaysian missing persons Facebook group on May 31.
The distressed mother also told the daily that family members, including herself, as well as friends, are travelling to Malaysia to search for Johnson.
The family has already lodged reports with the British High Commission and the police and are appealing for public assistance in the search.
