NORTH COAST, Calif. – The family of a Sonoma State University student missing since last month is asking for help in locating him.

James Abriel, 19, a freshman at Sonoma State, was last known to be in Rohnert Park on April 22 and in Santa Rosa on April 24, according to his family.

His parents, Bill and Vangie Abriel, said he is 6 feet 1 inches tall and 180 pounds, with dark blond hair and blue eyes.

He is driving a white four-door 1999 Toyota Camry, with California license plate 4GYG766.

The teen earned a 4.0 grade point average in his fall 2010 semester, is an avid hiker and loves the outdoors, according to his family.

“We are so grateful to the Sonoma State administration and students for all their help in trying to locate James,” Bill and Vangie Abriel said. “Please continue to search for him and to let us know if you think of any places we could look. And please keep James and us in your prayers.”
