It has been more than two months since Krishna Venkatesh, a program manager at Microsoft Corp. in Redmond, went missing and police are still looking for him.

The Capitol Hill resident has not been seen since the evening of Oct. 15 and there have been no new updates on the case, according to the Seattle Police Department (SPD).

Venkatesh was reported missing that evening when family and friends had not heard from him.

The SPD then verified that he was not answering his phone and he had not returned to his home.

Venkatesh’s name and information was entered into a national database but no new information was obtained on his whereabouts. In addition, the SPD is working with other local agencies such as the King County Sheriff’s Office and Washington State Patrol on the case. Redmond police are not involved in the case.

Police had one lead suggesting Venkatesh had driven to Deception Pass as they found his car in the area, but nothing has resulted from this, according to the SPD.

Venkatesh is 27 years old and Indian American. He is American born and does not speak with an accent. He is between 5-feet-8 and 5-feet-10 and weighs about 160 pounds. Venkatesh has black hair and brown eyes. He drives a 2006 gray Toyota Corolla with the license plate number 759 ZDH.

If anyone has any information about Venkatesh’s whereabouts, they should call the SPD at (206) 625-5011.
