In January, This 29-Year-Old Man Mysteriously Vanished Right In The Middle Of New York City
After graduating from Spring Valley High School back in 2011, Jordan Taylor embarked on an impressive collegiate career.
First, he studied at SUNY New Paltz in New York– pursuing a double major in political science and Black studies. Then, after graduating in 2015, he became involved in community organizing and local activism.
Jordan had previously worked on Antonio Delgado and Baltimore City Council President Nick Mosby’s congressional campaign.
And by 2022, Jordan had decided to study law– enrolling at the CUNY School of Law as a first-year student. At the same time, he lived in Queens, New York, with his brother.
Yet, in January 2023, everything changed for the 29-year-old.
It all began on January 6, when Jordan decided to change his profile picture on Facebook at 4:18 p.m.– selecting a photo of himself wearing a white mask.
Then, later that same day, he headed to a barber shop known as Hustle– which was housed on Hillside Avenue in Queens.
But, at 6:48 p.m., Jordan strangely got up and left right in the middle of his haircut. He reportedly told his barber that he needed to leave right after getting a phone call.
Afterward, Jordan was spotted standing right outside the barber shop for between five and 10 minutes. Later phone record analysis also revealed how, at about 9:00 p.m., he headed to the Port Authority bus terminal and stayed there until midnight.

Next, between 12:11 a.m. and 1:04 a.m. on the following early morning of January 7, phone records revealed that Jordan traveled to a location close to an LGBTQ-friendly club known as The Q– which was located on 48th Street and 8th Avenue in Hell’s Kitchen, Manhattan.
About 90 minutes later, at 2:30 a.m., Jordan was seen for the last time on security footage– walking alone and without his coat by the Goldman Sachs building located in Lower Manhattan.
Afterward, he never arrived home, and his loved ones have not heard from him ever since.
At 1:30 a.m. that same day, Jordan’s phone had been discovered abandoned close to The Q– specifically on 46th Street or 47th Street.
Once Jordan was reported missing, investigators also reviewed video footage from outside the club. However, they never saw Jordan enter or leave The Q.
At approximately 9:00 a.m. on January 7, Jordan’s wallet, containing all of his credit cards and some cash, was then found on West Street in Battery Park– not far from the Goldman Sachs building.
Despite this strange trail of evidence, though, the circumstances surrounding Jordan’s disappearance have remained unknown. Investigators also never found any indicators of foul play.
But, the investigation has continued, and Jordan’s case is classified as missing.
At the time of his disappearance, Jordan was five foot eleven, weighed 170 pounds, and had black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing black pants, a black-and-red argyle sweater, black sneakers, and a dark blue coat.
If you have any information regarding Jordan’s case, you are urged to contact the New York Police Department at (800) 577-8477.
