Cal State Fullerton Student Missing After Skateboard Ride

A cloud of worry hangs over Cal State Fullerton as the search for 21-year-old Nicholas Adunagow enters its tenth day. Nicholas vanished after leaving his campus housing on a skateboard in the early hours of October 14th, and his loved ones are desperately seeking any information that could lead to his safe return.

Last Known Movements

Security footage captured Nicholas heading south near Chapman Avenue and Commonwealth Avenue around 2 a.m. Since then, there have been no sightings, no activity on his phone or social media, and no financial transactions. His family, who reported him missing on October 20th after nearly a week of silence, describes this disappearance as completely out of character for the reliable and focused student.

Investigators are currently working without any definitive leads, and while they don’t suspect foul play at this time, the lack of explanation for his departure is deeply concerning. Friends attest to Nicholas having no known mental health issues or conflicts that might explain his vanishing.

Community Rallies for Support

Nicholas is described as being 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighing about 160 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a dark green hoodie, gray pants, and dark sneakers. Cal State Fullerton police have released photos and video stills to aid the public in identifying him, and volunteers have joined the search, sharing his photo widely on social media using the hashtag #FindNicholasAdunagow.

Family members have been tirelessly searching campus grounds and surrounding neighborhoods daily. Authorities are actively investigating tips, reviewing surveillance footage from the area, and analyzing phone and financial records in hopes of uncovering any trace of Nicholas. Every hour counts in these critical early stages of a missing person investigation.

A Call for Information

This case has unfortunately sparked important conversations about campus safety and the response times for missing student cases. Nicholas’s loved ones are urging the public to remain vigilant and to spread the word. If you have any information, no matter how small it may seem, please contact Detective Sergeant Brown at 657-278-2903 or email [email protected].
