While holding back tears, Jerome Stroschein displayed a rubberband man that his 32-year-old son, Jamaal, makes and sells. “Anywhere you find these, you’ll find him. He
took a few thousand of those with him,” Jerome said at a press conference on Thursday morning at the Redmond Police Department Jamaal Stroschein (RPD) in front of four news cameras and print media.
Jamaal’s family last saw him around noon on June 3 near their residence in the 18200 block of Northeast 31st Street in Redmond. RPD Chief Ron Gibson said they received a tip that
Jamaal, an autistic black male, was last seen on June 6 in the 3500 block of West Lake Sammamish Parkway. He had not been located at the Reporter’s press time. “Someone has seen him, we don’t know who, but we have to find that person,” Jerome said. “I appreciate
all the work that the police have done and we really need to find him, so we’re asking for your help to find Jamaal as soon as we can — for his safety.” People are asked to call 9-1-1 if they see Jamaal. Jamaal is described as 5-foot-10, 150 pounds,
