Mohamed Ali Qazi, 30, was last seen in Montreal on September 25, 2013. He was described as slender with shoulder-length curly black hair and brown eyes, and was driving a rented Chevrolet Malibu when he disappeared. His family reported him missing after he stopped communicating, which was out of character.

A friend, Daniel Pierre, went missing around the same time, and investigators treated the two disappearances as linked. Qazi’s rented Malibu was later found abandoned in a Terrebonne shopping-centre parking lot. Searches included a forensic sweep of a wooded area in Blainville as police considered the possibility of foul play. The Sûreté du Québec joined the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal in the investigation, which has examined possible connections to organized crime.

Wherever anyone in the Montreal or Laurentides area was in late September 2013 and might have seen either man or that Malibu, please share what you know.
