Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP87432) and 1 other source
On a late September day in 2017, a 51-year-old man named Krishna Moonsammy disappeared from his neighborhood in the Bronx, New York. The last time he was seen was on September 30th of that year. Mr. Moonsammy, a Black / African American male standing at 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing around 200 pounds, was a familiar face in his community. On the day he went missing, he was dressed in light blue scrubs, both a shirt and pants, and was carrying a black and grey bookbag. His family described him as being in good physical and mental health, which made his sudden and unexpected disappearance all the more alarming for them. When he did not return home or make contact, his loved ones grew deeply concerned and reported him missing.

In the wake of his disappearance, the New York City Police Department's Missing Persons Squad launched an investigation. Authorities conducted searches in the Bronx and surrounding areas and spoke with his family, friends, and neighbors, hoping to piece together the events leading up to his disappearance. Investigators also reviewed surveillance footage from the vicinity where he was last seen, but their efforts did not yield any significant leads that could explain his whereabouts. The absence of any clear evidence, either of foul play or of him leaving voluntarily, deepened the mystery surrounding his case.

As days turned into weeks and then years, Krishna Moonsammy's family continued to hold out hope. They made public appeals, pleading for anyone with information to come forward. Flyers with his picture and description were distributed in the hopes of generating new leads that might lead to a breakthrough. Despite these heartfelt efforts by his family and the initial investigation by law enforcement, the case eventually grew cold, leaving his loved ones in a painful state of uncertainty. To this day, the disappearance of Krishna Moonsammy remains an open and unsolved case, a lingering mystery for a family still searching for answers and hoping for closure.
