Australia Australia - Ahmed Sayf Hamada (M39) Fortescue Bay/Hobart - 29 October 2024

[brett1968]

Hello, I’m a family friend of Ahmed and I know that he has two names (this is common in Arab and North African culture), but he mostly goes by Ahmed.
Whilst he likes nature and doing outdoor stuff, he is not a big fan of bushwalking or hiking, so it’s so baffling that he is missing in thick bush area.
Also, the Porsche he was driving is brand new and he is really careful about getting his things dirty or scratched. The place his Porsche was found is rural and barely suitable for a car like a Porsche.
Anyway, I want to help find Ahmed. I know the police are on the case currently but I have a feeling they will close it any time soon and write it off as a missing persons case. I don’t want to just accept that as an answer, we need to know what happened.

If anyone wants to ask me any questions about him, I’ll be happy to help. If anyone has theories about what is going on, feel free to comment them. I think we need to keep our options open, and with such uncanny cases such as these, anything is possible.

When you say, he had some problems, could this have been with gambling?

Hi Brett, excuse delay in response as I have been waiting to be verified so I can respond to you. I have no doubt family and friends of Sayf will really appreciate you taking the time to post and consider this situation, let alone think and consider the unknowns and what if's in this case and the potential possibilities. Thank you for taking the time to again contact the crime stoppers in relation to this case, while not wishing to question how the case might be handled, from my personal experience to date I have felt a little concerned. Again, I am sure all his family and friends appreciate all and any information, thank you for your time and response. Do let us know how you go with contacting the police... Kindest Regards to you

Hi Brett, personally I did not know him to be a gambler when I knew him. But know he felt that something was going on with him, and he knew he needed to seek medical help. Also knew the wait list and clinics open to new patients was very limited where he was and very poor, extended wait lists.

Hello sleuthers; I know Fortescue Bay, in fact I may be visting there in the coming weeks. If people are interested, I can record the road in and surrounding areas to help people/family/friends understand the environment a bit more?

I note some friends/family coming into the thread. I have not seen much regarding Ahmed online, specifically about issues he may have had at the time of his disappearance.

That said, my questions which may help us better understand and potentially help include:

• Was he experiencing any personal issues... health, financial, or relationship problems?
• Did he keep diaries, notes, or communicate anything private to you before disappearing?
• Does he have any outdoor skills or familiarity with specific remote areas (like Fortescue Bay)?

 

[Alim]

Hi Undiluted,
Thank you for posting. I believe this would require a response by multiple people who know Sayf, which has already been collated by the police (I would hope and assume). All I can say is that the area where Sayf's car was found was inland. Given I wish to protect the case, Sayf's family, their privacy I'm afraid I'm unable to give any further information on this thread personally. Hoping new information may come to light.
Thank you for your time in responding.

Kind of you to offer, however correct me if i'm wrong, but I believe the family may have already been informed, visited, researched, seen the area.

I think here on Websleuths, many of us would be interested in seeing @ShadowsTrail's video of the area.
