19 Year Old Aisha Khan’s father makes a desperate emotional plea for the safe return of his daughter.
This is absolutely heartbreaking. I pray she’s found soon, safe and sound.

Aisha Khan, University of Kansas student, leaves voice mail about drunk, then vanishes
Aisha Khan, 19, called her sister from a picnic table on the University of Kansas campus, where she was studying for her finals, according to reports.
She left a message about 11 a.m. Friday saying an inebriated man had attempted to kiss her and she had hit him.
“I slapped him. He just smelled really bad, and I didn’t know what to do,” Khan said in the voice mail message to her sister, Faiza Khan, according to KMBC.
“You need to pick up your phone. I’m confused.”
When Faiza Khan tried to call her sister back, Aisha did not answer.
The missing student’s cell phone and backpack were later found near the picnic table.
“We have no information that it was an abduction and no information that it wasn’t,” Overland Park Police Chief John Douglass said at a news conference.
“We are looking at it as a missing-person case and putting the resources into it as if it was an abduction.”
Khan’s family is offering a $10,000 reward for anyone with information about the disappearance and detectives have scoured the campus, nearby woods, a creek bed and golf course for clues.
A group of construction workers in the area at the time believe they saw a woman matching Khan’s description walking away from the area alone, but the sighting has not been verified by police and surveillance cameras provide no leads.
The young woman got married this year and lives with her husband in an apartment, but police say there is no reason to suspect her spouse is involved in the disappearance, KMBC reported.
“There’s so much we don’t know about the case,” Douglass said.
“She’s 19 years old, but not much more than a child. One of our own is missing and we need to find her.”
This is my art blog, but this to me is too important to not reblog everywhere.
