Hooshang Imanpoorsaid, 59, disappeared from his Brossard, Quebec home after saying in February 2008 that he was leaving on a business trip to Toronto. The day after he left, his family received an email from him apologizing and saying drastic measures were necessary, a message that was the last direct contact they had with him. Investigators later found his credit card was used at Dorval airport and then in the Netherlands, suggesting he flew to Amsterdam rather than Toronto.

At the time he vanished he was described as 5 feet 9 inches, 181 pounds, medium build, dark complexion, short black hair and brown eyes. His family had him legally declared dead in 2017 to access life insurance, but the insurer produced Iranian government records indicating he might be living in the Middle East. In 2021 the Quebec Superior Court reversed the death declaration, finding the evidence showed he was almost certainly alive; his wife appealed and lost. The RCMP still lists him as a missing person. If anyone knew Hooshang’s travel plans or saw him after February 2008, please share what you remember.
