Pablo Carlos Guerra was 17 when he was last seen on May 10, 2004, in Burnaby, British Columbia. The morning began with Pablo giving his mother a Mother’s Day necklace; that same day he was seen heading from his father’s house toward the New Brighton Pool area. He is described as five feet eight inches, 150 pounds, with short black hair and green eyes. What he was wearing that day is not known.

A key piece of evidence turned up the day he disappeared: Pablo’s jacket was found in the water of the Burrard Inlet beneath the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge (Second Narrows Bridge). That discovery led to extensive searches by the Burnaby RCMP and other police departments over the following months, but no further trace of Pablo was ever located. Authorities considered drowning or suicide as possibilities; his sister has said she did not believe he would take his own life.

The case remains open with the Burnaby RCMP and Pablo’s family continues to appeal for information. If anyone knew Pablo, saw him on May 10, 2004, or has information about the jacket found under the bridge, please come forward.
