Aarne Laanemaa, age 50, was last seen in New York City on the morning of February 26, 2019 when he left for work. He sent several text messages the next day; his phone was turned off around 8:00 PM on February 27, 2019 and has not been turned on since. Those messages and the phone’s abrupt silence are the last known traces of his movements.

Aarne is described as a white male, 5 feet 10 inches to 5 feet 11 inches tall, about 175 pounds, with sandy, very thin hair showing gray at the sides, blue eyes, and a goatee at the time he disappeared. Investigators report few leads and the circumstances of his disappearance remain unclear.

If anyone in New York City saw Aarne around February 26–27, 2019 or has information about his phone or movements during that period, please come forward.
