Mum's sleepless nights after one year without son
""I'm awake most of the night with my eyes open tossing and turning," says mum Mahjabeen, as she marks one year since she saw her son, Ali Durrani. The 33-year-old, from Stirchley in Birmingham, vanished after leaving home on 5 February 2025. He said he was going to clear his head. It was the last time his parents saw him."
""There was nothing found from Ali's computer or his telephone messages to say where he would have gone," Mahjabeen Durrani, 56, told the BBC. "He didn't take anything from home so that makes it even more unusual. "As a mom, I'm hopeful that he is somewhere and that hope is going to carry me through the days to come. I know my husband is finding it difficult as well.""
Mahjabeen, Ali's mother, is awake most nights, tossing and turning as she marks one year since she last saw her son. Ali Durrani, 33, left home on 5 February 2025 saying he was going to clear his head and vanished. No messages, computer activity or taken belongings indicate a destination. CCTV captured him on 6 February wearing a green raincoat and talking to a woman in a red jacket before he walked through a park and disappeared from view. Extensive police searches, drones and hours of CCTV review have found no trace. His bank and social accounts remained inactive; his phone last pinged near Queen Elizabeth Hospital on 7 February.
