Jami Charlene Fernandiz was 18 and the mother of an 18-month-old son, Stefan, when she disappeared from Port Perry, Ontario, on Wednesday morning, October 15, 1997. She followed her normal morning routine, dropping Stefan at daycare about 8:30 a.m., but never made it to Port Perry High School and did not return to collect her son.

Jami was last seen wearing a black jean jacket, a black Chanel sweater, blue jeans, and black Doc Marten shoes. Investigators believe she hitchhiked to Oshawa that morning to visit friends at a rooming house on Cobburn Street and may have been there until about 3:30 p.m., when she reportedly left to hitchhike back to Port Perry. What happened after she left the rooming house is not known.

Her mother, Connie, has continued to press for answers and the disappearance remains an open, unsolved case. If anyone knew Jami, Stefan, where she spent time, or has information about her movements on October 15, 1997, please come forward.
