A 32-year-old Redmond man who police consider to be endangered has been missing since June 3, when he walked away from his home
A Redmond family is desperate to find a 32-year-old man with autism and diabetes who hasn’t been seen in a week. And they say his signature rubber band stick figures are key to finding him.
Jamaal Stroschein walked away from his home on NE 31st Street in Redmond last Thursday. Jamaal’s dad told KIRO 7 Jamaal has been making the rubber band stick figures for 20 years and doesn’t leave home without them.

“And if you see a rubber band person you are in the presence or near Jamaal,” said Jerome Stroschein. “And that’s pretty much the only thing we have to go on.”
Redmond police are having a hard time coming up with leads.
“A lot of the traditional means of finding a missing person are simply not available to us,” said Ron Gibson, Redmond Police Chief. “He doesn’t have a cellphone, he doesn’t drive a car, he doesn’t have credit cards. He’s not on social media.”
Police have received 10 tips that haven’t panned out. They don’t suspect any crime or specific danger, but he needs his medication.
Crossroads in Redmond is one area Jamaal was known to hang out. He was also known to sell his little rubber band figures at Bellevue College.
“With the help of people around we can find him,” said Jerome Stroschein. “And we really have to, because he is very vulnerable.”
Call 911 and report if you see him or his famous little rubber band figures.
