Brian Joseph Dunlop was 35 when he was last seen in early June 1994 in downtown North Bay, Ontario. A father dropped him near Oak Street East and watched him cross the street and walk toward the railway tracks; that was the last confirmed sighting. About a month later, on July 4, 1994, his father reported him missing.

At disappearance Brian was described as a Caucasian male, 5 feet 9 inches, about 150 pounds, with a slender build, brown hair shorter than collar length, and brown eyes. Distinctive features included a scar on the middle finger of his left hand, decayed teeth and a missing upper front tooth. He was last seen wearing a blue jean jacket, blue jeans and carrying a small black leather packsack. Friends later reported possible sightings in North Bay and Oshawa through September 1994 and said he had talked about hitchhiking to Montreal or going out west; he was known to sometimes hitchhike or hop trains.

The disappearance remains unsolved. It was the first of four men who vanished in the North Bay area that summer, prompting questions about links between the cases. If anyone knew Brian, saw him in 1994, or has information that could help bring his family answers, please come forward.
