Alim Feasal Hasan was 25 when he was last seen on March 21, 1990, in the Vancouver/Burnaby area while visiting relatives before a planned return to Edmonton by Greyhound. Family expected a call when he arrived but never heard from him; he was reported missing to the Burnaby RCMP on April 12, 1990. Described as slender with a dark complexion and short black hair, he was last seen wearing a red and black mackinaw-style jacket, blue jeans, a white shirt and white basketball socks, and may have been carrying a red and white sports bag.

Two unusual leads emerged early in the case. On April 6, 1990, a brown suitcase containing Hasan’s clothing, personal items and identification was found outside the Hope RCMP detachment; it is unknown who left it there or whether he had ever been in the Hope area. In May 1990 a witness phoned police saying they had seen a man believed to be Hasan hitchhiking on Highway 97 near Kelowna after seeing a newspaper article, but investigators were unable to reconnect with that witness and the sighting remains unconfirmed. The central unanswered question is whether Alim ever boarded the bus and what happened afterward.

If anyone was in the Hope or Kelowna areas in spring 1990 and remembers seeing something that could help, please share what you know.
