Nezir Alija, 47, disappeared from his apartment in Garden City South, Nassau County, in the spring of 2020. The basic official account is that he left his apartment on May 2, 2020, and did not return. He is described as a white male, 5 feet 7 inches, about 160 pounds, with graying hair and blue eyes.

Family members identify him as a father of three. His case was entered in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System and the Nassau County Police Department is the investigating agency. A social media post gave a slightly different last-seen report, placing him in Lynbrook on May 7, 2020, wearing black boots, dark blue sweatpants, and a gray jacket with red lines on the arms, underscoring the early confusion about his movements.

Few concrete details about his departure or destination have been released. If anyone saw Nezir around May 2–7, 2020, or knows more about where he might have gone, please share what you know.
