WASHINGTON -- The mother of a missing 24-year-old Howard University student from San Francisco posted flyers throughout the Washington, D.C., area Thursday, hoping someone remembers seeing her son.
James Duncan, a sophomore at Howard, has not been seen since he went missing from his dorm two weeks ago. On Monday, investigators found his 1998 Burgundy Toyota Camry, but there was no sign of Duncan.
His mother, Terri Lynn Ellenberg, said she traveled to the East Coast this week after the family received a strange email requesting cash. “It said please send some money to him at a Western Union, but when we sent the money nobody ever picked up the money,” she said. “It was really out of character. It didn't say ‘Mom’ -- It said send as much as you can. That's what it said.”
Ellenberg, who is a nurse, said the search was taking a terrible toll.
Duncan was a graduate of San Francisco’s Burton High School and went to Skyline Junior College before heading off to Howard to study nursing. “I sent him here (to Howard) so he can get a good education and be a productive member of society and live a good life,” she said. “Now he's missing.”
