Dustin Ali, also known as Rahman Ali, was 48 when he was last seen in Philadelphia on the afternoon of December 21, 2025. Surveillance places him in a food market on the 1500 block of South 55th Street at about 3:59 PM that Sunday. Earlier that day he joined his regular Sunday Zoom prayer call with members of his mosque; by about 5:00 PM he had not been heard from and all communication stopped.

His family checked his home a few days later. The front door was unlocked and his dog was inside, but Dustin was not. Wallet, identification, coat, keys and shoes remained at the house; the only obvious item missing was his cellphone. The phone reportedly last pinged in the Cobbs Creek area on December 24 before it was turned off.

A family-run demolition business, Ali’s General Labor, lists him as owner for more than 25 years; he is active in his mosque and the community and regularly runs marathons. His family has offered a $10,000 reward. The Philadelphia Police Department lists the case as an active missing person investigation with no public update on whether the disappearance is considered suspicious. If anyone knew Dustin’s movements on or after December 21, 2025, or has information that could help, please come forward.
