Jed Frederick Ouillette was 52 when he was last seen at his home on Southwood Drive in Kitchener, Ontario, on September 8, 2014. Two days later his family found his two dogs inside the house without food or water and discovered Jed’s wallet, passport and bank cards still at the residence. There was no note, no bank activity in the days and months after his disappearance, and no sign of him.

Jed was described as a white male about 5 feet 10 inches, very thin, with sandy brown hair who often wore a baseball cap. He had been under severe personal strain before he vanished: his home was reportedly facing repossession, his driver’s licence was suspended because of a medical condition that caused seizures, his longterm girlfriend had moved out and his mother had recently left. Family members said he loved music and played drums and sang in a band.

Waterloo Regional Police carried out extensive searches, including repeated park searches and dive-team searches of the lake at Lakeside Park, and examined phone and financial records while identifying persons of interest; no remains, crime scene or definitive evidence of a crime have been found and the investigation remains active. Does anyone who knew Jed or saw him around September 2014 have information that could help explain what happened?
