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 at about 10:30 a.m. that morning and was never found despite extensive searches by local authorities and volunteers.

At the time he disappeared he was wearing a black hooded winter coat, black pants, boots, and a beige polo hat. He is described as 5 feet 7 inches, about 160 pounds, balding with gray hair, with a mustache and a cane he used to walk. He spoke only Arabic, which complicated communication during the search in the predominantly English-speaking area.

He had wandered away before but had always been located nearby, including in neighboring Worcester. This time searches of woods, neighborhoods, and public spaces over several days turned up no trace and the case remains open. If anyone saw Ali that day or has information about his whereabouts, please come forward.
