Missing 22-year-old University of Maryland student Dilan Shaan Ashar has been found and reunited with his family, according to the University of Maryland Police Department.
University of Maryland Police released new surveillance images in the search, along with a video message from his parents. The garage is located on the north side of campus near the university’s athletic facilities, and it backs up to the university’s facilities management area and a wooded area. Police used a drone to search the wooded area and the university’s golf course. We want you home. “Please share this post, especially with anyone in College Park, Greenbelt, Hyattsville, or the UMD community. Instead of messaging us, the best thing you can do is share it. We are grateful for every share,” she added. “Dilan, if you see this, we love you so much. You are not in trouble, and you don’t need to explain anything. We just want you home. Call or text us anytime, day or night.”
Ashar was last seen on surveillance video at the Terrapin Trail Garage on the University of Maryland campus around 2:30 a.m. Friday, October 2.
Investigators conducted a “methodical search” that covered about 110 acres near the garage. In the recorded video message shared by police, his mother said, “Dilan, we love you so much and we hope you are safe.
