Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP51279) and 1 other source
Arik Hakak, a 64-year-old man, was last seen on December 3, 2013, in Aventura, Florida. His disappearance raised concerns when his family, including relatives in Israel, had not heard from him. Hakak, who was retired at the time, left his car parked in its usual spot, which had remained unmoved for some time. He was reported missing by his nephew approximately a month later, in mid-January 2014, after the family grew increasingly worried.

At the time of his disappearance, Hakak stood about 5'8" tall and weighed between 110 and 170 pounds, with gray hair and brown eyes. His case is considered out of character, as there was no prior indication of any plans to leave or sudden life changes. His disappearance remains unsolved, and little information has surfaced about what may have happened. The Aventura Police Department continues to investigate the case and urges anyone with information to come forward.

Despite multiple appeals for information, the case has not seen significant developments, leaving his family and law enforcement seeking answers nearly a decade later.

Last Seen: Dec 3, 2013
