In College Station, Texas, five-year-old **William Jingde Xu** was reported missing on **March 30, 2005**, while in the custody of his non-custodial mother. At the time of his disappearance, William was described as an **Asian male**, approximately **3 feet 7 inches tall ** and weighing around **65 pounds**, with **black hair and black eyes**. His disappearance was officially logged under case number **MP19803** in state and national databases.
Authorities believed that William’s mother might have abducted him and potentially taken him out of the country, possibly to China. However, those details remained unconfirmed at the time. Though various public appeals and missing‑persons listings were circulated, few specifics about the mother's identity or circumstances of removal have been disclosed.
William’s case was noted in multiple missing‑persons compendiums. For example, a Texas cold‑case listing confirms his last known location as College Station, Texas, on the date of disappearance, and reiterates his age and physical characteristics. Another public summary lists only the same basic profile information, without updates on the investigation status.
Despite the passage of time—well over two decades—the case remained unresolved until recent developments. A repository of formerly missing persons reports states that **William Jingde Xu has been found safe**. This confirmation indicates that, as of the archive’s latest update, he is no longer considered missing. No public statements clarify when he was located, by whom, or what the circumstances of his recovery were. The site simply lists him among children abducted by non‑custodial parents who were later found safe.
Reports from news outlets or official law enforcement sources such as the **Texas Department of Public Safety Missing Persons Clearinghouse** do not appear to offer additional information specific to William’s case in their public online bulletins, suggesting limited public disclosure beyond the basic database entries. A local news article also notes William as missing since 2005, indicating the case received periodic media attention, but again without further follow‑up or resolution details.
Despite limited public updates, the most important development is that William is no longer missing and has been located safely.Last Seen: Mar 30, 2005
