Details of Disappearance:
Barmaki vanished from his Buena Park, California home on April 30, 2016. He left around 3:00 PM without telling his mother, who he lived with, and took his elderly dog, Sandy.

Police tracked his movements: He bought dog supplies in Encinitas (75 miles away), then was seen on security cameras at a Target in National City buying new items, and later getting gas.

Eighteen hours after leaving home, his car was found abandoned near the Mexican border in Jacumba Hot Springs. His phone, dog (who sadly died), and the new supplies were in the car, but his keys and wallet were gone. Footprints led from the car towards the border fence.

Barmaki was a real estate agent, had no known mental health issues, and seemed happy before disappearing. His mother says he loved his dog and wouldn’t have abandoned it. Why he was near the border is a mystery. His disappearance is considered suspicious and remains unsolved.
