Aliyah Boomer was 27 when she disappeared from Brooklyn after a summer day with a friend. On August 15, 2015 she went to a barbecue at Prospect Park, then to a friend’s home in the Red Hook housing projects. Around 11:00 p.m. she left that apartment to attend another gathering but never arrived. The last known potential contact was a phone call to her sister at 3:00 a.m. on August 16; her sister was asleep and missed the call. Aliyah lived with her mother in Sheepshead Bay and was a nursing student at the time.

Her family reported her missing after she failed to return for two nights and missed her sister’s birthday on August 18. They say it was out of character for her to disappear without warning. With few public details about the investigation, the case went cold. In 2021 her family received an anonymous letter claiming people in a Bronx apartment building knew what happened and suggesting she was sent on a drug run and never returned; that claim has not been verified.

Did anyone in Brooklyn or the Bronx area have contact with Aliyah around August 15–16, 2015 or know the Red Hook locations she visited?
