Simon Farah was about 21 years old based on a 1978 birth year in Montreal police records when he disappeared on December 27, 1999. He was last seen in the Verdun area of Montreal; his last-known location is recorded as 3860 Rue Allen in Verdun and the SPVM lists the case under 17-000110-017.

Simon was described as about 5 feet 4 inches tall, 119 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He left wearing a cap, a three-quarter-length coat, blue jeans and athletic shoes, and he was carrying a backpack. That backpack is a notable detail because it indicates he departed with personal belongings. Police records note he had spent part of the evening at his father’s home in the Town of Mount Royal, received a small amount of money from his sister, and had not been taking his medication for several days and was behaving aggressively; the record does not identify the medication or further medical details.

There are no publicly documented confirmed sightings, financial transactions, phone calls, or other verifiable movements after he left with the backpack. Anyone who knew Simon, saw him around Verdun or Mount Royal on December 27, 1999, or has information about his backpack or where he might have gone is asked to come forward.
