Missing Drew U. Student's Family Starts GoFundMe For His Search

MADISON, NJ — Ajay Sah's brother started a GoFundMe to help his family in the search for the missing Drew University student. Sah, an international student from Nepal, hasn't been seen on campus since Jan. 19.

The GoFundMe will help the family pay for legal and private services necessary to help find Ajay, according to Shiva Sah. The fund will also help Sah's parents travel to the United States and their accommodation, along with expenses required for immediate family members in finding the student.

Sah was last seen on campus at about 8 p.m. Jan. 19. Authorities have confirmed he boarded a train at the Newark Broad Street station headed for New York Penn Station.

He was seen in New York City shortly after midnight Jan. 20, according to the Morris County Prosecutor's Office.

Sah has black hair and black eyes. He is 5 feet, 6 inches tall and about 125 pounds. He has been known to travel to New York City in the past and has ties to Texas.

United States and Nepal government agencies joined in efforts to search for Sah. The Embassy of Nepal and the Consulate General of Nepal are working with the State Department and other agencies in the search, according to Drew University Vice President Frank Merckx.

Officials placed Sah's photos and information into the FBI National Crime Information Center — a primary method for increasing law enforcement's awareness of missing people. Read more: U.S., Nepal Agencies Assist In Search For Missing Drew U. Student
