Moroccan Man’s 8-Year Search Ends: Missing Father with Alzheimer’s Found Buried Near Paris

"My father was found in anonymity, buried under X, almost ten minutes from my home... I don’t know if I’m between sadness and joy, appeasement or denial," expresses Hisham, perplexed. For the past two days, he has been able to pay his respects at the grave of his father whom he had been searching for in vain since his disappearance in 2015 at the age of 79, reports Le Parisien.

His father, El Mekki Terrak, had left his home in the Mordacs neighborhood in Champigny (Val-de-Marne) on July 17, 2015. Since then, his son, Hisham, has launched a search for him in Paris and its surroundings. Without success. Four days ago, the judicial police informed him that they had found his father, dead for eight years in Seine-Saint-Denis and buried anonymously in a "pauper’s plot". A DNA sample taken three years earlier allowed the case to be resolved.
