Kelvin Phillip Norris was 21 when he stepped outside his family home in Bath, Ontario, to unplug the Christmas lights and never returned. The exact date is unclear: police records list November 27, 1984, while the family believes it was November 26. He was 5 feet 10 inches, thin, with long brown hair, brown eyes, a three-inch scar on his right hand and a severe speech impediment. He reportedly wore a heavy three-quarter length grey tweed duffel coat, a blue hooded sweatshirt, jeans and brown leather boots.

Searchers from the Ontario Provincial Police deployed ground, air and canine units, but found no trace. Kelvin’s wallet and identification were left at home, and early investigative errors — including a discrepancy in his birthdate and concerns the dogs were given an incorrect clothing article — may have affected the initial search. His dental records and familial DNA are entered in national databases and the case remains open.

If anyone knew Kelvin, the home he lived in, or was in Bath on the night he vanished, please share what might help resolve this long-standing disappearance.
