Hamza Ali was seven months old and last seen April 8, 2013, while the family was visiting in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania. At that time he was about two feet one inch tall, weighed about twelve pounds, had black hair and brown eyes. His mother, Zainab Gaal, reported him missing on August 6, 2013, saying her boyfriend, Ummad Rushdi, had taken the infant and returned to York, Pennsylvania.

Rushdi was arrested the next morning at his York home; Hamza was not with him. Investigators say he led them to multiple search areas in York and Lancaster counties after accounts that he had at one point gotten his vehicle stuck in mud near Columbia, Pennsylvania, and may have buried the child there before moving him. Rushdi’s brother told police Rushdi confessed to shaking Hamza to death; Rushdi later allegedly admitted burying the baby, wrapped in a sheet, and said the body would not be found. Rushdi was charged in connection with the case but later declared incompetent to stand trial and committed to a state hospital.

Hamza’s body has not been recovered and the family has not received closure. Does anyone have information about Hamza’s movements in April 2013 or about searches in the York and Lancaster areas?
