I am goi I am going to answer one of my own question. The Des Moines Register indicates the man was his stepfather. However, multiple other cites (including WHO) indicate he is the uncle. So, I am not sure which is accurate.

I hadn’t heard that...thanks for the info. Could you post a link to the article? Also, if it is a separate source indicating the man was Abdi’s stepfather, could you provide a link to that as well? Thanks!

Such sad news... PRESS UPDATE: On 02 May 2020, at approximately 3:10 p.m., Des Moines Police Department patrol officers responded to the Prospect Park Des Moines River banks to investigate a report of a body in the river. Responding officers arrived and observed what appeared to be a body...

I believe this was a different situation...about a month ago. Still waiting for press release regarding the recent discovery.

In regards to the body was found, it would certainly seem like a coincidence that it was found in river by Prospect Park. Which leads me to a question... I live in Des Moines and was out of town the weekend of the disappearance. I know that day there was a big snowstorm, canceling school. I...

Family desperate to find 18-year-old Target employee Abdullahi ‘Abdi’ Sharif who disappeared after leaving work on January 17

I know everyone knows this, but let’s not forget that he 1) told his mom he had to work late at Target around same time he was leaving Target and 2) snap saying he got very bad news around the same time. Sure, things could be coincidental, but seems unlikely. this is ALL speculation, but I...

Bus: correct...I said I was speculating that he got a ride or took a bus based on the time he left Target and the location of the last ping. It’s approximately 4 miles. That was probably the first mention of the possibility of a bus. I know that all the DART busses have video cameras, so I...

Unfortunately I was sick and unable to attend, so a friend live-streamed the meeting so I could watch :) I have not heard of any followup up searches, but I am not up to date on things today and will let you know if I hear of anything.

I think that is an excellent point. In looking at a map, the AT&T store is catty-corner to Target. The bus stop is at the AT&T store. If he was planning on catching a ride from a friend, I agree that it would be odd to meet there instead of in front of Target. MOO.

The private detective hired on the case provided that information to the individuals who gathered to help search today. She handed out maps of the area to search, with one of the points being where the last ping was located (with the caveat that pings aren’t always totally accurate). She...

1. Do we know the exact time that the security camera saw him leaving Target? I know it was around 5:30, but curious to know if a little before (since weather was so bad, perhaps people could leave a little early) or a little after. That might help us figure out if him taking the bus was...

So, if I understand correctly, the last ping was located in Prospect Park. This is about 4 miles from Merle Hay Mall. He left the mall (Target) around 5:30 and the last ping was between 5:33-5:47. That seems to indicate, assuming he was with his phone, that he got a ride from someone or took...

The search meeting just ended and volunteers are about to go on foot to search. It is a triangular area that they are going to cover, with one of the points being where the last ping of his phone was located, sometime between 5:33-5:47pm on the day he went missing.

I am local and have a few questions. I am guessing this info has not been released, but let me know if I am wrong and missed something: 1. Do we know whether his snap about ‘bad, bad news’ was sent before or after he told his mom that he was going to work another shift that evening? 2. Has...

Wouldn’t those 3 traffic stops be very close to the location where It has been reported that Mollie may have been found?

KCCI.com (Des Moines) has a live feed with a reporter who is between Guernsey and Deep River. They said around 5am the road was blocked off and there has been a police presence. They are speculating this could be where the body was found (however, it certainly could be searching for clues in a...

Absolutely agree with you! Although, honest question...did LE State that they found a red shirt? (Not meant in a snarky way...they totally may have...I try to keep up but seems impossible). If not, then the very existence of a red shirt being found is called into question. Except for the...

They haven’t really commented on anything though... of course it is always possible that LE asked mom to say that for whatever reason. Hard to tell anything in this case! I keep going back and forth on whether LE knows nothing vs close to an arrest :)

I believe a journalist reporting on Fox News is mainstream media. If I am incorrect, please let me know :)
