Terasi Niholimbele, 23, vanished in Phoenix on August 30, 2017 after telling his wife he was going to run an errand. A friend dropped him off at a house in the 5500 block of West Flower Street; he was expected to call for a ride back but never did. He was wearing a white t-shirt, dark blue jogging pants and carrying a dark-colored backpack when he disappeared. His family reported him missing on September 1, 2017.

Terasi was born in a refugee camp in Tanzania after his family fled the genocide in Burundi and moved to the United States at age four. He was a husband and father, held a green card, and had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. His wife, Cheyenne Waters, says he used marijuana with a medical card but was not involved in illegal drugs. The house where he was last seen reportedly had connections to a drug cartel; a few months later a man was murdered at that location in a killing described by police as drug-related. Investigators have received witness tips claiming Terasi was killed, but those statements have not been verified and no definitive link has been established.

Does anyone have information about Terasi’s movements on August 30, 2017 or about people connected to the 5500 block of West Flower Street?
