The last time the 28-year-old was seen was on October 3rd, as he was leaving his mother, Kathy Williams's, house. On the same day, a friend in New York received an alert from his phone suggesting that there had been a car accident. The police found his car two days later. However, no evidence of a collision was found.

Zelig Williams, who also performed with Hugh Jackman during his "The Man. The Music. The Show." tour, has received tremendous support from the artistic community.

The Williams family believes that Zelig will return home. The dancer's mother is appealing for any information to be shared with the investigators.
