In the quiet community of Troy, Michigan, a story of profound concern began to unfold around February 13, 2012. On that day, two-year-old Kartavya Parashar, a young boy of Asian descent with black hair and black eyes, was last seen. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as being approximately 2 feet 3 inches tall and weighing around 40 pounds. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance are deeply troubling, as law enforcement has indicated that Kartavya was last known to be in the company of his mother. This detail marks the beginning of a long and heart-wrenching period of uncertainty for those who know and love the little boy. The case, which was officially created in the NamUs database on October 27, 2014, has since drawn the attention of multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Troy Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The years that have passed since Kartavya's disappearance have been filled with an agonizing silence for his loved ones. The initial report to the Troy Police Department, filed under case number 12-6172, set in motion an investigation that has spanned over a decade. The Federal Bureau of Investigation's involvement, under case number 7-DE-107006, underscores the serious and complex nature of this missing person case. Despite the passage of time, Kartavya's physical description remains a poignant reminder of the child who vanished. His black, shoulder-length hair is a detail etched in the minds of those who continue to search for him. The lack of any distinctive physical features or information about the clothing he was wearing on the day he was last seen has added to the challenges faced by investigators. The case of Kartavya Parashar is a somber reminder of the enduring pain and uncertainty that accompanies a missing child case. With each passing year, the hope of finding answers may dim for some, but for his family and the dedicated investigators, the search continues. The official missing person report paints a sparse but troubling picture of his last known moments, leaving many unanswered questions. The community of Troy, and indeed people far beyond, are left to wonder what happened to the little boy who would now be a teenager. The overview of this case is one of a sudden and unexplained disappearance, a family's enduring hope for reunion, and a law enforcement community that continues its efforts to bring a resolution to this long and difficult journey.
