Reuben Barua Waithaka was a 73-year-old family patriarch from Ndumberi village in Kiambu County, Kenya, who lived his entire life in Kenya before taking his very first international flight to the United States to visit his family in May 2025.
Before the trip, Waithaka and his wife, Elizabeth Barua, had been separated from their son, Willington Barua, for eight years. The trip was meant to be a joyous, long-awaited family reunion.
Waithaka traveled explicitly to witness his then 17 years old first grandson, Byron, graduate from high school in Calera, Alabama, a milestone he was incredibly proud of and insisted on attending.
Highlighting his deep connection to his family, Waithaka packed his suitcase with highly sentimental items. These included faded childhood photographs of his son and matching African-print shirts that he had custom-made for himself, his son, and his grandson to wear together at the graduation.
On May 14, 2025, Mzee Reuben Barua Waithaka and his wife landed in the U.S.. Because he appeared visibly unwell and disoriented from the flight, his son immediately took him to Shelby Baptist Hospital, where they stayed overnight.
On May 15, 2025, at around 11:08 AM, shortly after returning home from a medical checkup at Shelby Baptist Medical Center, Waithaka suffered from sudden disorientation caused by extreme travel fatigue and a suspected onset of dementia.
Mistakenly believing he was still back at his property in Kenya, Waithaka told his wife he was simply going outside to check on his car. Because of his disorientation and severe jet lag, he mumbled to his wife in Kikuyu, "Ndathiî kûrora ngari yakwa" ("I'm going to check on my car") and stepped out onto the driveway of his son’s house in the Timberline neighborhood of Calera, Alabama.
Elizabeth originally assumed Waithaka was just stepping onto the driveway to get some fresh air or take a quick breather after their long flight.
As she followed him out, she suddenly remembered that they had left the back door of the house completely open. Out of a protective habit, she immediately rushed back inside for less than three minutes to close and lock the door.
When Elizabeth returned to the front yard less than three minutes later, she was surprised to find the driveway completely empty. Distraught, Elizabeth immediately searched for Waithaka in the immediate property and surrounding streets of the Timberline neighborhood. When she could not locate him, the family contacted the Calera Police Department to report him missing.
Because of his severe travel disorientation and medical state, the police skipped the standard waiting period and launched an urgent search operation that same afternoon.
According to the Calera Police Department, search teams extensively combed through the Timberline subdivision, a 12.5-mile diameter surrounding area, and dense private hunting lands off Highway 25.
Teams focused on a heavily forested area and private property belonging to a local sports hunting club. Ground teams and volunteer groups retraced nearby roads, routes, and highway exits.
The search utilized advanced drone mapping technology, helicopters, K9 units, ATVs, and thermal imaging/heat-detection technology.
According to a home security video, a neighborhood doorbell camera captured Waithaka walking away from the driveway at 11:08 AM, neatly dressed in khaki trousers and a blue-and-white plaid shirt.
Investigators found that Reuben had grown confused walking in the Timberline neighborhood and was given two separate rides by helpful motorists. One of those rides dropped him off near the highway.
At at 11:36 AM, a retail security camera at the Speed Trac / Chevron service station on Highway 25 captured the last confirmed sighting of Reuben Waithaka. The footage showed him entering the business, waving to an attendant, using the restroom, and exiting through a back door.
So I worked for a certain hospital within Nairobi town near upperhill roughly 3 weeks ago and after diligently doing my duties I asked when I get my remuneration to which they said at the end of the month.
Now on 1st August I asked them about the pay and they said that
Hiyo stori ya Dr Mutiso who was assassinated yesterday is sad but weird.
We fall in love then separate in a messy divorce where the court gives you our house in Kilimani and other properties. In the process and divorce proceedings you insult our lawyer who sues you for defamation and is awarded 1.5M by the courts. You can’t afford to pay that 1.5 because you spent a lot in courts fighting me and then a few years later our divorce lawyer is shot 4 times in the streets by gun men.
I then fall in love with that late lawyer’s wife and we get married and since you can’t pay the 1.5M to a dead man and you can’t afford it, the house you were awarded in our divorce is seized and awarded to my new wife so I get it back. Now my new wife ends up gunned down.

🚨Danny Welbeck on his conversation with Sir Alex Ferguson before accepting Chelsea’s offer.
🎙️ Reporter: Danny, can you tell us about your conversation with Sir Alex Ferguson before you accepted Chelsea’s offer?
🗣️ Danny Welbeck: “It’s a moment I’ll never forget. My phone rang, and it came up as ‘No Caller ID’. I normally never answer those calls, but something told me to pick it up. The moment I heard the voice, I knew it was Sir Alex Ferguson.
“He asked how I was doing and then told me Manchester United had decided to continue in a different direction. He said he would have loved to bring me back to Old Trafford, but the club’s project had changed and the timing simply wasn’t right.
“Then he surprised me. He said, ‘Go to Stamford Bridge, go to Cobham and buy yourself a house near the water. Every morning at four o’clock, get up and train for three hours. People may not see your full potential today, but if you keep your head down, work hard and believe in yourself, you can make history at Chelsea.’
“I was honestly shocked. The last meaningful football conversation we had was when my future was away from Manchester United, so hearing those words of encouragement from someone I respect so much meant a lot to me.
“Sir Alex has always understood what it takes to succeed at the highest level. It wasn’t just football advice—it was advice about discipline, mentality and believing in yourself even when others doubt you.
“Joining Chelsea is the beginning of a new chapter in my career. I’m grateful for everything that has brought me to this point, but now my focus is entirely on this club. Every time I step onto the pitch, I want to prove that I still have a lot to offer, help Chelsea win trophies and repay the faith they’ve shown in me. That’s my mission.”

I came to Nairobi in August 2015,
I left Nairobi in August 2025.
Nairobi was good to me except 2017.
Interacting with people like @alexmwanzo , @ombachi13 , @Kevoh_254 made me realise there is more than doing bodaboda business.
I met people in my line of duty that
