Although Ambrose Monye has booked the ticket for his graduation ceremony scheduled for May, Monye might not be attending his ceremony except he shows up sometime soon.
The 28-year-old medical student has been declared missing since April 21 when he was last seen in the area of Jackson Park Hospital in Chicago where he's doing a two-year clinical rotation.
He often goes to coffee shops in the Hyde Park neighbourhood and the John Crerar Library, Chicago police said.
Monye is a student at the University of Guadalajara in Mexico and is in Chicago for a two-year clinical rotation at Jackson Park Hospital, ABC Chicago station WLS-TV reports.
Monye was in his last rotation, which would have likely ended in May, said Margo Brooks, the hospital's vice president of development.
"We went through his apartment, we saw his reading lamp was on. His fan was on. … He had a fridge full of groceries. … So we had no reason to think he went anywhere or went away. Definitely he would have told me, because we're pretty close," his brother, Joseph Monye, also a medical student, told WLS.
"His ticket is already booked to go for his graduation ceremony. This is very unlike him. We have no idea what could have possibly happened," he added.
Arturo Barriga of the University of Guadalajara told ABC News via email, "We hope and we are praying for him to be found."
