Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP1706) and 8 other sources
Petra Muhammad, a 30-year-old woman from Highland Falls, New York, went missing under suspicious circumstances on January 6, 2006. At the time of her disappearance, Petra was in the midst of a contentious divorce from her estranged husband, Waheed Muhammad. She had expressed concerns about her safety to friends, fearing for her life. Her phone showed no activity after her disappearance, and her husband claimed she had left the country, a claim police found no evidence to support.

Investigators focused heavily on Waheed as a person of interest due to the strained relationship and reports that he had locked Petra and their son out of their home during a previous domestic dispute. Police executed searches in the couple's home, which revealed disturbing signs, such as a homemade doll seated where Petra normally ate, with wire wrapped around its neck. These findings, coupled with Waheed's lack of cooperation, only deepened suspicions, although no conclusive evidence was found. Waheed relocated with their son after Petra's disappearance.

Despite the extensive investigations, including searches of nearby landfills, Petra remains missing, and her case remains unsolved. Investigators continue to encourage anyone with information to come forward.
