Mohammad Hamed Qanavizi was 27 years old when he was last known to have contact from Fort Jackson, South Carolina, on August 19, 2016. Public missing-person listings identified Fort Jackson as the place connected to his disappearance and described the circumstances as extremely limited, with little public information explaining where he went afterward or what may have led to the concern for his safety.
NamUs listed the case as Missing Person / NamUs #MP34926 and recorded the date of last contact as August 19, 2016, while other public missing-person databases echoed the same basic details: Mohammad was last seen in Fort Jackson, South Carolina, and the case offered few specifics beyond that point.
At the time he was reported missing, Mohammad was described as an Asian male with black hair and brown eyes. Public sources gave his height as between 5 feet 4 inches and 5 feet 7 inches and his weight as approximately 150 to 170 pounds. The case information also noted that his hair was short, that he had no facial hair, and that he had a distinctive mole on his cheek near his nose. These identifying details were important because the publicly available circumstances did not include a vehicle description, clothing description, travel plan, or clear account of what happened after his last known contact. In cases with so few publicly released circumstances, physical descriptors often become the most enduring pieces of information available to the public and investigators.
The investigating agency listed for Mohammad’s case was the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command at Fort Jackson, with the case associated with Richland County, South Carolina. The NamUs record connected the last known location to Fort Jackson, and the available case material described the location circumstances only in vague terms. Because Fort Jackson is a large military installation and the public record does not provide a detailed timeline, witness account, destination, or explanation for Mohammad’s movements, the publicly visible story of his disappearance remained sparse. What is clear from the listed records is that the concern began after his last known contact in August 2016, and that his case was entered into national missing-person systems so that his information could be shared beyond the immediate jurisdiction.
The attached case data now indicates that Mohammad Hamed Qanavizi’s case resolution status is Alive. That means he has been found alive and this is no longer an active missing-person case. The exact date he was found is not provided in the available data, and the public online summaries located for this synopsis do not appear to give a clear date or detailed explanation of the resolution, so the safest compassionate account is that the disappearance began as a Fort Jackson missing-person report with very limited public circumstances and later ended with confirmation that Mohammad was alive. In overview, Mohammad Qanavizi was a 27-year-old man last connected publicly to Fort Jackson, South Carolina, on August 19, 2016; his missing-person record circulated with basic identifying details, few known circumstances, and an Army CID investigation listed, before the case was ultimately resolved with the important confirmation that he had been found alive.Last Seen: Aug 19, 2016
