Family of Kumar Naraine, Queens teen missing for 12 days, desperate for answers
Kumar Naraine, a 17-year-old boy from Queens, has been missing for nearly two weeks and his family is praying for his safety. Naraine, who is set to graduate from Richmond Hill High School in the spring, disappeared on April 6 after he left for his grandmother's house, according to his parents. Kushmattie and Kunjie Naraine, the missing teen's mom and dad, said Friday their son has not been seen or heard from in 12 days. On the day of his disappearance, Naraine's mom received a startling phone call. "I got a call from the cops at 11:30 asking me my name, my son's name, where is my son? And I said he's not home. I said to them what's wrong? And they said they got a call from a friend, he's missing," she said. According to police, Naraine's cellphone was last pinged near Jamaica Bay -- which is about two miles from his home in Jamaica. The NYPD and Coast Guard have searched the area, but there's been no sign of him. "I'm not sleeping. I'm just looking at the door to see if he's at the door," his mom said. "I just want to know where my son is. It's unbearable." Before Naraine disappeared, his parents said he attended a Sunday service as a Hindu priest-in-training. He then went to a music class, hung out with his father and left for his grandmother's house, but never made it. "Kumar did a very beautiful service," his dad said. "Please if you're seeing this, come home baby. We all love you ... Send me some sign so I can come and get you." Naraine is already enrolled at Malloy University for nursing on a full scholarship, his parents said. Anyone with any information about Kumar Nuraine's whereabouts is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) , or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782 ). You can also submit a tip via their website or via DM on Twitter, @NYPDTips . All calls are kept confidential.

Richmond Hill woman arrested, accused of stealing $81k from school booster club
RICHMOND HILL, Ga. (WSAV) – A 44-year-old woman is facing several theft and fraud charges, after being accused of stealing $81,000 from the Richmond Hill High School soccer booster club. Some of Susan Nelson's expenses, according to the Georgia Virtue, include Verizon bills and OnlyFans subscription. The publication also reported that she sent PayPal transactions to her own business, Sweet Grace Marketing, LLC and transferred money to her personal USAA bank account. She also is accused to changing the name of the booster club account to her own and trying to disguise the transfers. Richmond Hill Police confirmed that Nelson was the booster club president when these crimes were reportedly taking place. According to Richmond Hill Police, Nelson was reportedly making arrangements to leave town, put her home up for sale and changed her appearance. Nelson's bond was denied, but she has another hearing on March 20. WSAV asked the school system and Nelson's attorney for comment, but we have not yet heard back. Nelson has a history of alleged fraud, according to the New York Post. Just last year, she confessed to keeping $10,000 dollars raised for the family of Mica Miller. Miller was a South Carolina woman who was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after accusing her husband of abuse. Nelson said in a Tik Tok video that defrauding people has become something of a 'habit.' She added that she was trying to change her ways. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
