Search continues for Northeastern student who disappeared weeks ago
Authorities are still searching for information on a Northeastern University student who has been missing for more than two weeks.
Dennis Njoroge, 21, hasn’t been seen since Nov. 28, university police said. He is about 5-foot-6 or 5-foot-7 with a thin build, brown eyes, and black hair. Officials say he is known to wear black pants, brown Timberland boots, an olive green jacket, and a plain black baseball cap.
“I want him home. I don’t know where he is,’’ Helen Kihara-Bouchard, Njoroge’s mother, told WCVB. “I don’t have any answers from anybody. He’s never done this before, we have no clue what could have happened to him.’’
Northeastern held a community vigil on Dec. 8 for Njoroge.

“We are extremely concerned about a Northeastern University student who was reported missing earlier this week,’’ Northeastern Vice President of Student Affairs Madeleine Estabrook said in a statement. “University officials, including NUPD, have been working closely and around the clock with city and state law enforcement officers, as well as with Dennis’ family, in hopes of finding him safe. At the request of Dennis’ family, we are sharing this information with the Northeastern community.’’
Boston Police said there were no updates on his status at this time.
Anyone with information about Njoroge’s whereabouts is encouraged to call Northeastern police at 617-373-4880.
