Good afternoon. I’m here to provide an update on the disappearance of fourteen-year-old Jawad Ali.
Shortly after 10:00 a.m., Suleyman and Dina Ali, parents of Jawad Ali, received a text message from their son’s cell phone saying he had run away. The full text reads: “Sorry mom and dad. I’m okay. Couldn’t take it anymore. Home soon.”
Though it appears Jawad turned off his Find Me app, the last known location of his phone was the Chicago area. We are currently attempting to ascertain the exact location of his phone. The Alis have tried to call their son, but his voice mail appears to be full. Text messages have received no response.
At this point, we will pass along this case to our Runaway Interdiction Team, who will be investigating it under their auspices. Every effort will be made to locate this juvenile and reunite him with his parents.
