The statement said that Alanazi, who was identified by some Arabic media as Omar Alanazi, “was reported missing on January 27 at approximately 10 a.m.”
Police added that Alanazi was out with his friends in the downtown area Thursday night.
“He [then] went with a group to the East 9th Street Pier at approximately 2:30 a.m. to look at the water,” police added.
When the group went to leave, Alanazi reportedly walked away from them, the police and local FOX 8 News reported.
