Kenyan Family Seeks Help to Trace Son Who Moved to the US

Kenyan Family Seeks Help to Trace Son Who Moved to the US

A Kenyan family from Ruai, Nairobi County is seeking help to trace their son who lives in the US.

The distressed family says they have not communicated with Allan Gathungu Kangethe for a long time and are wondering what might have happened to him.

The last time they were in touch with him was when he was residing in Crescent Valley, Nevada many years ago. The family says it can no longer reach him through his last known telephone number, which ended in 1138.

The family says Gathungu’s ailing dad desperately wants to talk to his son and has appealed to anyone with information about his whereabouts to help them locate him.

Gathungu was born and raised in Nairobi’s Buruburu estate before the family relocated to Ruai, where they currently live.

Anybody with information that may lead to his tracing may contact his mother Mrs. Kangethe (0723063611) or sister Christine Kariuki (0720219733).

    In America, you gotta do whatta gotta do. You gotta go where looking for greenest pastures sometimes or all the time. Looks like Allan moved from Crescent Valley, Nevada then moved to Long Beach California. He seems to have settled at Rowland Heights, Trona in California. Allan's info provided is sketchy and cant give good leads. Pray that Allan will be re-united with the family soon.

    Who asked you @seneca to go digging this man out without his express permission! Who damn asked you!? Did you ever think for a moment that the man does not want to be contacted by his family and relatives!? Wow, what a foolish know it all!! Stupid! The guy aught to sue your ass for invading his privacy! Damn you dummy!

  8. PeterAug 22, 2020

    You are Sick.

  9. MūgīkūyūAug 21, 2020

    I would hope this guy has a roof over his head for starters. The mention of California the capital city of homelessness+needles is noteworthy when referring to someone who has gone AWOL on family.

  10. Mkenya halisiAug 21, 2020

    Wow @Seneca Kwani wewe ni FBI pwana.I know a guy from my village who went hiding in usa for 34 years.The family did the same tried to locate That idiot n finally he came home akiwa 58 years old akiwa anakaaa kama madazi ya kibera bila chochote.As i always say invest kakitu gichagi n don’t forget yr roots.

  11. MumdumugoAug 21, 2020

    My supposition is that he may not want contact because of financial demands from his kin. If you aren't fully settled it can be a struggle to save and send kidogo nyumbani. Your first thing is a place to stay and food to eat. Kenyans here and in the 254 can be quite shallow and he might not be be living up to their expectations so he may have taken the unusual route of breaking off contact. Cali is an expensive place to stay. If he is renting you better believe he is spending up to $2k or more on rent and utilities a month

  12. SerureAug 21, 2020

    The guy May not want to keep in touch with folks back home not to be conned by close and immediate relatives! It has happened to many before home! Just saying!

  13. 10xAug 22, 2020

    I have seen that man right off the Death Valley highway 190

  14. PeterAug 22, 2020

    I cannot beleive people are this sick. for heavens sake call your parents. Stupid people.

  15. LawrenceAug 22, 2020

    You probably have never called your parents since you left and now you want us to think you so so good! Leave th man to do as he wishes! Judgment aside and let the man be! You ain’t a angel yourself!

  16. BethAug 22, 2020

    Maybe he is in Jail.

  17. KaliliAug 22, 2020

    Never know!

    Please remember there is a family here that have gone out of its way to reach out to the public for help. When you contribute, please be sensitive. Whether this man is missing missing or he is voluntarily missing, to the family he is simply MISSING!! It maybe a joke to some but it is deeply concerning to the family. I am sure they will appreciate any info that gives them hope. Make use of the number provided if you know something. Let’s put ourselves in the family’s shoes. Do unto others as you would like done unto you.
