A missing 19-year-old woman with autism disappeared a week ago. Amber O'Neil is a student at Seattle Central College who has been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome. While she's smart academically, her family said she's socially much younger.
Her father is concerned that she's with a man almost three times her age with a criminal history whom she met in her accounting class at the school.
In a background search, KING 5 found the 53-year-old to be from the District of Columbia with convictions for theft and possession of a dangerous weapon in the 1980s. A man matching his name was sentenced to 63 months in federal prison on firearms charges and mail fraud in 1997.
Her father said their relationship concerned the staff to the point that they alerted DSHS. A DSHS investigator sent Amber a letter in early May telling her that the agency started an investigation into her well being and safety.
Then the Garfield High School graduate disappeared a week ago without her seizure medication.
