- Details of Disappearance:
- On April 1st, 2016, Dhanani’s restaurant, the Celtic Bayou in Redmond, Washington, burned down in a suspicious fire that started around 1:00 a.m. The fire was likely arson, and someone was seen running away. Luckily, nobody was hurt.
Dhanani, the restaurant owner, was working at a Dairy Queen in Auburn until 2:00 a.m. that same morning. Police talked to him about the fire at his home early that day, and he went to the police station later to give more information. Then he disappeared.
His car was left at the Dairy Queen with his wallet, ID, phone, and jacket inside. Police say he’s not suspected of setting the fire, but they believe he might know something about it and are worried about him. His family hasn’t heard from him since the night before the fire. The case is still a mystery.
