This might be a longshot or totally wrong altogether but I took the train to Scarsdale yesterday and when I got off the train, i was sending out some emails while eating on the bench and a young asian guy came up to me and started talking to me. I didn't take a good look at him because I was doing stuff/still in "nyc don't talk to me" mode but he kinda looked like the picture. It seemed like he had some developmental disabilities or mental health issues. He was pushing a shopping cart and said his name was Peter and he was born in 1987. I thought it was kind of odd that he was out on his own just engaging with random people, but he struck up conversation with someone before me and started talking to some women walking their dogs right after me. I just assumed he was a local that all the other locals know. Maybe call Scarsdale police and ask if they know about Peter?

Yes. I was by the chase bank when he approached me. He seemed to be in a good mood and was making jokes with everyone. He told me I need to retire cuz I’m 36, he told the guy before me to retire his car from 2003 and he told the woman to retire her 5 year old dog. Is Kerlin outgoing and a jokester?

No, Kerlin doesn’t really initiate conversations. He usually greets people he knows and then would walk away and stay in his room. The new medicine also made him a little non-verbal. But I don’t know for sure if his behavior has changed now

I know it’s not much, but my work takes me all over the city every day using the subway. I’ll definitely keep an eye out. So sorry to hear about this.

Is this the Jehovah’s Witness Church that you’re referring to?:

Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses (212) 587-3259 https://maps.app.goo.gl/CGUgW8XTQMLdn8bk6?g_st=ic

Maybe give them a call or see if they’ve seen him!

Wishing the best of luck! 💚💚💚🤞🙏🤞🙏

Damn, I'm really sorry. I'll take extra care to look at everyone around me when I'm commuting home later in case there's a chance to spot him. Good luck with the search, hopefully he's found safe and sound soon.
