Stacy Lucien Dilenardi, 31, vanished from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, after being last seen on November 28, 2005. He had recently moved from Sudbury for a technician position at the Ontario Forest Research Center. Surveillance footage places him at about 1:12 p.m. that afternoon buying Player’s Light cigarettes at Sewell’s gas bar on Frontenac Street in the Rankin Reserve; he was known to smoke menthols and sometimes used his middle name Luke, having legally changed his name to Luke Dilenardi in January 2005.
On December 1 his 2003 red Chevrolet Cavalier was found abandoned on a bush road about 15 kilometres past the Garden River First Nations Reserve, deep on Connor Road in Duncan Township. An initial search was cut short by heavy snowfall; a larger 20-day search in May 2006 involving up to 55 trained searchers, OPP helicopters, snow machines and cadaver dogs recovered no evidence. Stacy is 5 feet 8 inches, 155–160 pounds, thin, with brown ear-length hair balding on top, brown eyes, glasses, and psoriasis on his arms, legs and back; he required medication for a thyroid condition and depression.
The case remains unsolved and his whereabouts unknown. If anyone knew Stacy, saw his car, or recalls his movements in late November 2005, please share what you know.
