Faris Daniel Heeney

Last seen in Dublin, County Dublin, Ireland on July 29, 2009

Vital statistics: White male. Born on July 13, 2007. Brown hair, brown eyes. He has a prominent fold on his right ear. He speaks English and Arabic and is a dual citizen of Ireland and Egypt. Was two at the time.

Circumstances: He was abducted by his non-custodial father, Amir Abdel Gaber Allam Ismaeil and uncle, Moustafa Ismaeil. Photos and vital statistics for them are posted below. He had a two day visit with Ismaeil and on the above date was taken out of Ireland dressed as a girl on a passport intended for his female first cousin. Amir Ismaeil had previously abducted his daughter, Amira, from Ireland in early 2009; her mother only retrieved her two weeks before he abducted his son. Moustafa Ismaeil returned to Ireland four days later and was subsequently convicted of child abduction. He was sentenced to six years in prison and was deported to Egypt after finishing his sentence. They are still believed to be in Egypt, in the city of Tanta. Amir is wanted for both child abduction and the rape of a woman in Ireland in 2007.
