Ali Kamhaz, 88, went missing from his home in Paxton, Massachusetts, on February 21, 2016. Kamhaz, who had dementia and diabetes, wandered away from his residence around 10:30 a.m. that morning. Despite extensive searches by authorities, he was never found. At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a black hooded winter coat, black pants, boots, and a beige polo hat.
He is described as being 5'7" tall, weighing around 160 pounds, with balding gray hair, a mustache, and a cane that he used to walk due to his medical condition.
Kamhaz's disappearance was particularly concerning because of his vulnerable condition. In addition to his dementia, he only spoke Arabic, making communication difficult in the predominantly English-speaking area. He had previously wandered away from home but had always been found and returned safely, typically staying within the local region, including nearby Worcester. However, this time, despite a widespread search involving local authorities and volunteers, no traces of him were uncovered.
The search effort lasted several days, covering wooded areas, neighborhoods, and public spaces in and around Paxton. Unfortunately, as time passed, hopes of finding him diminished. His case remains open and unsolved, with no new leads emerging since that fateful February day. Authorities continue to ask for information from anyone who might have seen him or have knowledge of his whereabouts.Last Seen: Feb 21, 2016
