Landry Ntwari was 28 when he left his Burlington, Ontario, residence to celebrate his birthday in Niagara Falls on January 9, 2017. He checked into a hotel in the Fallsview Tourist Area; friends and family noted this was at least his sixth visit to the city since October, a pattern they and police said they did not understand.

Surveillance shows Landry leaving his hotel near Fallsview Boulevard and Dunn Street at about 7:15 p.m. on January 10, and he has not been seen or heard from since. He is described as a Black male, about 5 feet 5 inches and 154 pounds, with short curly black hair. At disappearance he wore a dark winter jacket with grey sleeves, tan pants, black shoes, carried a small tan backpack and wore a red and white checkered scarf. Some personal items were later found in his room.

Investigators and family say there was no indication he was gambling or planning to cross into the United States, and hotel staff did not recognize him despite his repeated trips. The investigation remains active and many questions about why he was visiting Niagara Falls and what happened after he left the hotel are unanswered.

If anyone saw Landry in the Fallsview area on January 10, 2017, or has information about his repeated visits to Niagara Falls, please come forward.
