Afif Sayegh was 26 when he was last seen in Manhattan on January 31, 1995. An Australian citizen, he disappeared from New York City and his family has not heard from him since. Public details about what happened before his disappearance are sparse.
He is described as a Caucasian male with black, thick, curly hair of medium length, brown eyes, a high forehead, protruding ears, a dark complexion, and a scar on his left hand. He was about 5 feet 10 inches to 5 feet 11 inches and 155 to 165 pounds. He wore glasses and may have been dressed in a black athletic coat, jeans, and European size 42 footwear when last seen.
The investigation is being handled by the Canton Tessin Police Department in Ticino, Switzerland, an unusual jurisdiction for a disappearance that occurred in New York.
If anyone knew Afif, saw him in New York around January 31, 1995, or has information about why Swiss authorities are involved, please share what you know.
