SAN FRANCISCO – San Francisco Police have called on the public to help locate an 84-year-old man who went missing last Friday.
Investigators said Jean Chang Kan Fung left his home in the Richmond District for a walk and never returned.
Police said she was considered at risk due to her age and possible medical conditions.
Fung’s grandson said on Wednesday the family received a tip that they were seen on Silver Avenue, so they spent most of the time driving around town chasing bus lines. The tip didn’t work.
“Officers from the San Francisco Police Department have worked tirelessly on this, but at this point,†said Kasie Lee, assistant district attorney for San Francisco. “We ask for the help of all San Franciscans.”
San Francisco Police have requested the public’s help in locating Jean Chang Kan Fung, 84, who was reported missing on May 28, 2021.
“She’s a grandmother, a mother and she’s been missing for five days now,” said San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin.
“She’s never been away for this long,” said Acting Deputy San Francisco Police Chief Raj Vaswani.
Last Friday, CHP gave her a courtesy ride to Marina District Safeway by communicating with her through a language app. They dropped her off around 4 p.m.
“There is no report that anyone has seen her since then,” Boudin said.
A criminal act is not suspected, but authorities fear that she is vulnerable, elderly and that there is a language barrier. She doesn’t speak English. She only speaks Cantonese and Taishane.
