Tihomir Maletic, known as Tim, was 17 when he left his family home in Kitchener, Ontario on January 24, 1983. A student at Grand River Collegiate, he left a note saying he was going to Toronto and never returned or made contact. He is described as a white male, 5 feet 7 inches, about 150 pounds, slender, with brown hair, brown eyes and a sallow complexion. He was believed to be wearing a dark grey winter jacket, dark blue or brown corduroy pants and brown winter boots, and was carrying a blue and red Adidas backpack and a pair of roller skates.

A week after he vanished his wallet was mailed back to his family’s home; the envelope was postmarked in Detroit, Michigan, and the wallet’s contents, including identification, were still inside. The sender’s identity has never been determined. Law enforcement, including the Waterloo Regional Police Service, continues to seek information in the unsolved case.

If anyone knew Tim, saw him around January 24, 1983, or has information about the wallet being mailed from Detroit, please come forward.
