Brief Case Summary

Location: Anchorage, Alaska
Status: Missing
Age when missing: 47
Law enforcement case number: 26-6853
NamUs number: MP158865
Hasani Chioke Zimmerman was last heard from during a phone call on January 1, 2026, in Anchorage, Alaska. Publicly available case information does not identify who participated in the call, where Zimmerman was physically located when it occurred, where he was headed, or what was discussed. His communications reportedly stopped after that date, and his whereabouts remain unknown.
Hasani Chioke Zimmerman’s Disappearance
Hasani Chioke Zimmerman, a 47-year-old Black man from Anchorage, Alaska, disappeared at the beginning of 2026. According to missing-person records, his final known contact occurred by telephone on January 1.
Zimmerman is described as approximately 6 feet tall and 200 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Public case databases identify Anchorage as the city from which he disappeared.
The circumstances immediately surrounding Zimmerman’s disappearance remain unusually limited in publicly available records. No verified public account reviewed for this article identifies a final confirmed physical sighting, vehicle involved, specific Anchorage address, clothing description, travel plans, or person known to have been with him immediately before he vanished.
Instead, the central fact repeated across case listings is that Zimmerman was last heard from by phone on January 1, 2026. After that communication, contact ceased.
Missing-Person Report and Investigation
Available case data indicates Zimmerman’s disappearance was formally reported to law enforcement on March 6, 2026, more than two months after his last known contact.
The Anchorage Police Department is identified as the primary investigating agency, with agency case number 26-6853. The department’s public telephone number is 907-786-8900.
Zimmerman’s case was subsequently entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System. The NamUs record, MP158865, was created on May 21, 2026. NamUs continues to display the case as a missing-person record.
Public awareness pages and missing-person groups have also circulated Zimmerman’s information, including social-media posts that repeat the January 1 last-contact date and Anchorage Police Department case number. These posts can be useful for expanding awareness but should not be treated as confirmation of investigative developments unless those claims are independently verified.
What Investigators Have Publicly Released
Few investigative details have been released publicly.
There is currently no verified public announcement reviewed for this article naming a suspect or person of interest. Authorities have not publicly stated that Zimmerman was the victim of a homicide, and no verified public source reviewed here establishes that foul play has been confirmed.
Likewise, no publicly documented arrest, recovery of remains, discovery of Zimmerman alive, or official closure of the missing-person investigation was located as of August 20, 2026.
This absence of publicly released information does not mean investigators have no leads. Missing-person investigations can involve interviews, telephone records, financial activity, surveillance footage, digital evidence and other information that is not immediately disclosed. In Zimmerman’s case, however, law enforcement has not publicly detailed those investigative steps in the sources available for review.
The Anchorage Police Department remains the primary agency associated with the case.
Current Status of the Hasani Zimmerman Case
As of August 20, 2026, Hasani Chioke Zimmerman’s whereabouts remain publicly unresolved.
His NamUs record remains available under MP158865, and no newer credible public announcement located during review reports that he has been found or that his case has been closed.
Anyone with information concerning Zimmerman’s disappearance can contact the Anchorage Police Department at 907-786-8900 and reference case 26-6853. The department also lists 3-1-1 as its Anchorage non-emergency number. Emergencies should be reported through 9-1-1.
