Seven-year-old Soomaiiah Jalaaluddeen Quraiishi was last seen in Quincy, Massachusetts, on April 13, 2001. She was described as 4 feet 5 inches tall and 90 pounds, with black hair and black eyes, a small scar under her right eye and a prominent blue vein on her right elbow.

Investigators consider this a possible family abduction and say she may have been taken out of the country soon after she disappeared. Reports indicate potential travel to the United Arab Emirates on January 12, 2002, India on January 13, 2002, and England on January 22, 2002, and authorities have looked for her in Pakistan (Lahore or Karachi), near the Christian Muree Convent School in Muree, and at an orphanage near Junieh, Lebanon or An Nabk, Syria. At some point after she vanished, her father told her mother, Humaira Niazi, that Soomaiiah was deceased but gave no evidence or explanation.

The Quincy Police Department and the FBI remain involved, and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has issued age-progressed images. If anyone has information about Soomaiiah’s whereabouts or recalls seeing a child matching her description in the locations mentioned, please come forward.
