Zulfiqar Charania, known as Zully, was 29 when he disappeared after a family visit to Montreal on December 26, 1980. A resident of Ottawa, he was of East Indian or South Asian descent, about five feet ten inches tall, 141 pounds, with black hair and black eyes. He had been visiting his sister for the Christmas holidays and planned to continue on to New York to see another relative.

When Zulfiqar left his sister’s home he left behind all of his personal belongings, including his packed suitcase, a detail that suggests his departure was not planned. After that December day there has been no contact with his family and his whereabouts remain unknown. The Service de police de la Ville de Montréal lists him as a missing person.

Does anyone remember seeing Zulfiqar in Montreal around December 26, 1980, or have information about his planned travel to New York?
