Qua’mere Rogers was a three-year-old boy from Syracuse, New York, last seen in late November 2008; the disappearance is often cited as December 1, 2008. At the time he went missing he was about 2 feet 5 inches tall and weighed 30 pounds. Known by the nickname Quatti, he was last reported to be in the care of an adult male relative.

Authorities have treated the case as a homicide, though Qua’mere remains officially classified as a missing person and no body has been found. Investigation attention focused on Damion Davis, who was the boy’s mother’s boyfriend. Davis told police in July 2009 that he had given Qua’mere to a man named Yusef Ben Ali in Brooklyn in July 2007 and claimed the man was affiliated with the United Nation of Moors; investigators found no evidence to support that account and noted the child had been seen in Syracuse well after the date Davis cited. DNA testing in September 2011 showed Davis was not the boy’s biological father. Davis was charged in December 2009 with child abandonment, third-degree rape and endangering the welfare of a child; the abandonment charge was later dropped.

No remains have been recovered and the case remains unsolved. If anyone knew Qua’mere, his movements in 2008, or has information about Yusef Ben Ali or the locations where Qua’mere was seen, please come forward.
