JAKARTA - The National Police said that the lecturer at the Islamic University of Indonesia (UII) Yogyakarta, Ahmad Munasif Rafie Pratama, was still in Boston, United States. Its existence is based on passenger crossing data and the results of coordination with the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia (KBRI) in Oslo.

"Lastly, in Boston, America has not left," said Head of International Relations Division (Hubinter) Inspector General Khrisna Murti to reporters, Tuesday, February 21.

From the deepening, it was also known that Rafie had the phone number of the United States. However, that number is now inactive.

"We also got his American number but it didn't work. But buying a number in America is easy, I think I just gave a passport," he said.

With these findings, it is believed that Rafie did not disappear. However, it deliberately disappeared.

That belief was strengthened by finding a history of purchasing tickets from Istanbul-Boston employees before he departed from Jakarta

"There is electronic evidence in question to order an Istanbul-Boston plane before departing from Jakarta," said Krisna.

For information, Rafie had traveled to Oslo, Norway on February 4, 2023 in the context of campus duties to participate in global activities at the University of South-Eastern Norway (USN) in Norwagia.

Ahmad Munasif should have returned to Indonesia via Istanbul on a Turkish Airlaines flight and landed at the Soekarno-Hatta International Badnara on Thursday, February 16.

However, the lecturer at the Informatics Department of the UII Faculty of Informatics Engineering was reported to have lost contact after last communicating with his wife on his way home at Oslo Airport, on Sunday, February 12, noon.
