Rodney Ernie Hicks was 27 when he disappeared from his Burnaby home, last seen at about 5:00 pm on or believed to be March 3, 1989. He is five feet eight inches, about 161 pounds, with brown hair, green eyes and a distinctive smile caused by protruding upper teeth. At the time he was wearing a blue turtleneck, a two-toned blue sweater, blue denim jeans and black running shoes.

Rodney lived with an intellectual disability, epilepsy and autism, making his unexplained absence especially worrying. After that final sighting at home there were no further communications or confirmed sightings, and the case remains open with the Burnaby RCMP.

Does anyone who knew Rodney, his routines or the Burnaby neighbourhood in 1989 have information that could help bring clarity to what happened?
