Columbia Senior Still Missing

2006_05_richardng.jpgA senior at Columbia's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences is still missing, worrying his family and friends. Richard Ng was last seen leaving his dorm at East Campus around 10PM on Sunday night and hasn't been heard from since. Reports say he may have been at the West 72nd Street 1/2/3 station around 10:30PM that night. His family finds it unlikely that Richard would go anywhere without letting them know, and his teachers say he was on track to graduate. You can see a video of WCBS 2's report here; it shows Ng's parents putting up "missing" posters on the Upper West Side, which was sad, and the either the reporter or anchor who intro'd the piece called it a "real life" Without a Trace, which was sad in another way.

If you have any information, here's who to contact.

This is what columbia gets for being near Harlem. a steady diet of rich asian nerd guys who don't pose any danger. that's like dinner to a harlem resident.

rich asian nerd guys?! you're an asshole and i hope karma kicks you in the ass or disrespecting him and his family.

I hope they find him. That is sad. Though sometimes people want to disappear.
