Have you seen Adji Desir?

Missing Since: 2009-01-10 Location: Immokalee, Florida

Details

Adji was last seen in Immokalee, Florida on January 10, 2009. His mother left him at his grandmother’s home in Farm Workers Village in the 800 block of Grace Street that day, as she had to work. Adji was last seen at approximately 5:15 p.m. He went outside to play with other children and disappeared. His grandmother realized he was missing about half an hour after she’d last seen him. After searching for two hours, Adji’s grandmother called the police. He has never been heard from again. An extensive search of the area turned up no indication of his whereabouts. Adji lived with his mother and stepfather at the time of his disappearance. Investigators looked into the possibility that Adji was taken to Haiti, where his father and extended family members live, but they found no evidence to support this theory. None of Adji’s family members are considered suspects in his disappearance. His grandmother no longer lives in the Farm Worker’s Village; she now shares a home with Adji’s mother and stepfather, who have since given birth to a daughter they named after her brother. Authorities believe Adji either wandered away, or was abducted by a non-relative. His case remains unsolved.
