John Gray, who has autism, was last seen in East New York on Friday morning.
“John is approximately 6’1”, 190 pounds, he was last seen wearing a hoodie with an image of Snoopy on the back of it and wearing other clothes that had Peanuts characters on it,” Detective Ryan Hogan of the East Hampton Police Department told 1010 WINS/WCBS 880.
