osie Monsif, the missing man's sister, explained, "He usually holds the collar of his shirt above his nose, hiding his face." She added, "He is autistic, and though verbal, he will be in distress." According to multiple sources, the ongoing search has employed various resources, including tip lines, helicopters and drone surveillance, and social media appeals.
A Saturday afternoon post on the "Finding Najib" group page by Josie offered a stark update: "The police have followed up all reported sightings of my brother, and we have no leads at this time. The reality of the situation is he is not on foot. He is not with anyone he knows. He is most likely with a stranger. I will update with any more search meetings. Our family is so grateful. Send your prayers." (

Najib is the sweetest kid with autism. He's an angel. My life is nothing without him," said Najib's father.
"Like [any] other night, nothing new. I got him his food because he stayed up all night so he can eat at night. At 2 a.m., I woke up, fed the dog, walked the puppy we have for [Najib], and I went and laid back down and I saw him come down with a bag, with the food to put in the trash. And I never saw him coming up. At this stage I was dizzy, so I fell asleep," his father said.
