Overview
- Aharib “Harbe” Nagi, a 7‑year‑old nonverbal boy with autism, was last seen near Park Drive in Menands barefoot and in a light‑colored T‑shirt and dark pants and remains missing.
- Local police, New York State Police and volunteer crews have searched roads and woods using drones, K9 teams, a helicopter and search lights.
- Search efforts have concentrated on Sage Estate Woods, a 65‑acre public forest with trails next to Park Drive, where teams have swept trails and wooded areas.
- Authorities say the boy may need medication and have used community tactics such as ice cream trucks to try to draw him out while urging residents to check cameras and report tips.
- The boy’s family has drawn wider attention because he is the nephew of Hamtramck Mayor Adam Alharbi, and officials are asking anyone with information to contact local law enforcement immediately.
