Gareth Jim Austin was 23 when he vanished from Medicine Hat, Alberta, in the late summer of 1995. Staying at the Park Lane Motel while reportedly helping a friend, Dominic Park, move furniture, he was last seen in the very early morning of August 18, 1995, at the motel. Gareth was an aspiring rapper who performed as G.O.D. (Gareth On Display) and supported himself as a waiter and DJ.

A payphone call from a Turbo gas station to his girlfriend reportedly included the line that she would never see him again; it is not publicly known whether he was alone at the time or what happened after the call. Dominic Park’s silver and red 1994 GMC truck was found abandoned in Brooks, about 100 kilometres away, later that same day. Both men have not been seen or heard from since.

Gareth was about 5 feet 11 inches, 130 to 160 pounds, slender, with brown hair, blue eyes, protruding upper teeth and a scar on the top of his left hand. Does anyone who knew Gareth or Dominic remember their plans that week or saw them around Medicine Hat or Brooks in August 1995?
