Abdullahi "Abdi" Sharif - Missing? We All Know Where He Went

but of course we can't say.

Facts:

Abdi is approximately 5'4" in height, weighing 120 lbs.

Investigators say Abdi's cell phone is either off or disabled. They say evidence shows Abdi spends time at three places almost exclusively: his job at Target, with family at home in Des Moines and at Roosevelt High School, where he is a senior

While the surveillance video of Abdi seen Friday at Target is a starting point, police say what's giving them the most problem is his lack of presence on social media. It's something extremely rare for a teen in this digital age.

Shortly before he disappeared, Sharif posted a Snapchat that said, "I got bad news … bad bad news."

Abdi does not have a car.

His mom went to Target to pick him up around 9:30 Friday night but he never showed.

"We know where he went"

Do we, OP?

Are you saying he killed himself? Either way very sad and distressing for his family.

by Anonymousreply 2March 11, 2020 11:00 AM

I googled this story. There aren't even many links, and those that do exist bring you to short statements.

There's absolutely nothing beyond what the OP wrote. A third search party is/was being organized. When I was his age, bad bad news was being grounded from listening to The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin on my headphones.

What could possibly cause this very young man mean by 'bad bad news'?

Unless somebody knows something, his family must be in agony.

He obviously is in "training" and now is going underground to complete his mission in a year or so.

Hi all, I have been following this frustrating case and really hope that Abdi is found safe and brought home soon. Not too sure if this has been brought up...

I was thinking about his "bad bad news" snapchat and wondered if it was the title of a song that he likes and in fact I found one. Bad bad news is sung by Leon Bridges and the lyrics are interesting to me which then made me think, was he sending a message or hinting at something possibly the name (Leon) of a person he was meeting up with?

I know it is far fetched but just trying to think of anything that might help bring Abdi home.

What about a girl ? Bad bad news? For a straight laced kid like him, a pregnancy scare?

Maybe lured under that pretense and there were guys waiting?

I've lived in both Iowa and Minnesota most of my life and I can say that when a Somali kid disappears or is killed the story usually fades from the headlines very fast. We had a double homicide in south Minneapolis near where I lived a couple years back and it was news for like a week tops. Left everybody scratching their heads and wondering what happened.

I would really like to see this featured on the Vanished podcast. I think the host does a really good job of giving the family space to tell their story.

I'd like to add that I'm kinda new to the forum and I hope my perspective on the racial aspects of the case are appropriate for this forum. I also hope my post isn't redundant.

by Anonymousreply 9March 13, 2020 7:41 AM

I still think this could be related to college admissions. I wonder if the family has been able to determine whether any letters went out to him around the time that he went missing.

He seems like a nerdy kid. But kids make mistakes at school and sometimes end up just missing acceptance to their dream school.

It can be a lot of heartache for a motivated kid. It's really tough when your classmates know that you've applied to a certain school and then you find out that you didn't get in. You kind of feel embarrassed about it.

Where is this kid? Why has no one, not even his family, come forth with even minor details to help provide any background about him?

Because they all know he's a sleeper agent that was reactivated. You will find this coronavirus was a terrorist thing, to spread panic. It comes nearly 20 years after 9-11 attacks. The terrorists cannot fly planes into buildings so they do this. Much more effective.

What a sad case, hope he's found safe. Also, what are you on about OP?

by Anonymousreply 23March 16, 2020 6:30 AM

In regard to his shift that day and whether or not he was scheduled, I think both are true. The article below states his mom dropped him off around 1:20, he was scheduled to work til 5:30, around 5 he called her and said his shift had been extended and to pick him up at 9:30, but when she got there, coworkers said he left when his shift ended at 5:30.

I’m guessing since it was a snow day and school was cancelled, a bunch of employees called in and said they couldn’t get to work in the weather. Target scrambled, trying to find people who could come in and Abdi volunteered. Since she dropped him off at 1:30, I’m going to guess he agreed to work 1:30 to 5:30. All IMO.

As to what happened at 5 to tell his mom he was working late, I truly don’t know. It’s my opinion right now that he decided to meet someone at the last minute and it was going to take awhile but he had every intention of being back by 9:30 to meet his mom. I too think he got in a vehicle vs. the bus and I can’t make any scenario fit other than he met with foul play. I’m hoping he actually left of his own volition, but I haven’t seen anything that makes me think that’s a viable possibility. I hope it is though!

And I do agree a bit about the lack of coverage. There have been several stories in MSM but I don’t have the sense that the general public is all that interested in it. Also, they had a search today at 12:30, but didn’t announce it until 3:30 on Saturday. Less than 24 hours notice to the public likely will not get all the help that may be needed to find something. From some of the photos I saw online, they were searching at the river near 2nd Avenue.

God, you guys are fucking EXHAUSTING. Where were you in the white terrorists thread where there was ACTUAL proof of them trying to use coronavirus as a bioweapon? Or the thread about the white terrorist who wanted to blow up a hospital?

But with this, you have zero proof outside of you and Pamela Geller no doubt fingering each other to cause yet another massacre like the one in NZ or Quebec where innocent people are killed because of assholes like you who live and breathe to hate all Muslims.

You have to cause even more of this fucking shit during a pandemic. I hope this virus takes people like you, but I doubt you ever leave your house and haven't for years

I just googled his name. Nothing. Absolutely nothing beyond the initial reports of his going missing on 17 January. Typically, kids are located by this point. It seems that he's dead and whatever remains there are won't be found for a long time, if at all.

My guess is that two queens were cruising the “Tasteful Things” aisle that nubile young Abdi just happened to be restocking and Now he’s stuck on end of a meth pipe in their apartment.

No, he definitely was a sleeper agent. The signs point to it and let's face it, NYC is way out of proportion to other states. The terrorists are using this as a biological weapon. And being PC, we can't talk about it.

No, he was called up. I bet if you investigated car routes to NYC, this youngster was infected on purpose and then spread it around NYC. It's biological terrorism.

Not even his family cares to look for him beyond a token effort. Why? Because they already know.

OK so the police find a body in the river and report it is some 30 year old white guy.

Then "magically" overnight it turns out to be this kid???

And the autopsy shows no signs of violence or foul play. So the kid just walks into the river, in January on a freezing cold night, in the middle of a blizzard?

Bullshit. He went to NYC infected the place and his "people" killed him silently (all these terrorist organizations have ways to make it look natural or suicidal) and dump the body.

Looks like the terrorists win again.

Right after my friend went to the movies, the spike in cases happened.

I could do this all day and all of my scenarios would bear just as much relationship to the spike in covid-19 cases as does the disappearance of a teenager in Iowa.
