Michael David Hart was 35 when he left Langton, Ontario, in late spring 1996 to seek work in western Canada. He stayed in touch with his family by phone and money transfers for a time, but the last contact with his parents was on May 24, 1996. The last confirmed sighting was in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, on August 8, 1996. His family reported him missing in August 1996 after three months with no communication.

At the time he disappeared he was described as a white male, 6 feet tall, slender, about 130 pounds, with blue eyes and wavy blonde hair. The Norfolk County Ontario Provincial Police continue to keep his disappearance as an open file and have issued appeals for information over the years. What information might help explain Michael’s movements in western Canada between late May and early August 1996?
