The last communication we received from Stephen was on January 1st and the last confirmed sighting of him in Kuala Lumpur was on December 29th. The police believe that he may still be in Kuala Lumpur. Though we don’t currently have strong leads on his whereabouts, we still have hope. We appreciate the messages of support that we have received over recent days and weeks. Stephen is 31 years of age, 5’11”, dark brown hair, brown eyes, medium to large build.
