Two Years Since the Disappearance of Haimnot: "The Girl is Gone, That is the Only Fact That Has Not Changed. Investigatively Nothing Has Advanced"

The parents of Haimnot Kasa, who disappeared two years ago, express their frustration over the lack of progress in the investigation and the ongoing anguish they face.

Two years after the disappearance of nine-year-old Haimnot Kasa, her parents, Benji and Tesfai Kasa, shared their heartbreak and frustration during a recent interview. They recalled the initial hopes of a swift resolution led by a fresh investigative team, which gradually turned into despair as the months passed without any breakthroughs. Dressed in personalized shirts that featured Haimnot's image, the couple articulated their emotional turmoil and unchanged reality: their daughter remains missing while the investigation has seemingly stalled.

As they reflect on the past two years, the Kasa family has experienced a painful transition from hope to resignation. Tesfai Kasa lamented that the investigative efforts by the police have been lacking, indicating feelings of neglect and frustration over what he perceives as a disregard for their daughter's case. He voiced criticism towards law enforcement for not pursuing additional leads or demonstrating the necessary diligence in the ongoing search for Haimnot, amplifying their sense of helplessness.

The Kasa family’s plight underscores not just the personal tragedy of a missing child but also raises questions about law enforcement's handling of disappearance cases. The long duration without answers has created an atmosphere of despair, not only for the family but also within the broader community, who continue to hope for the safe return of Haimnot. As the investigation languishes, the Kasa family remains devoted to keeping their daughter's memory alive, seeking answers and justice while coping with the deep emotional wounds left by her absence.
