Darcy Puddicomb, 49, vanished from Hamilton, Ontario, after leaving his Hamilton Mountain home for work on the morning of January 7, 1997. He left about 7:15 a.m. and was placed at the 7-Eleven on Main Street East at Ashford Street around 7:35 a.m. That store is the last publicly documented point in his movements; he never arrived at his employer and there are no confirmed sightings afterward.

Descriptions circulated in the investigation list him as a white male with brown eyes and short brown to light brown or greying hair and a receding hairline, about 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 6 inches and 140 to 152 pounds. On the morning he disappeared he wore blue jeans, a beige cotton-and-nylon quilted or canvas-style jacket, black boots, and carried a yellow canvas shoulder bag that also went missing. No public leads or recoveries of his belongings have been reported.

If anyone remembers seeing Darcy that morning, or recalls the 7-Eleven area around 7:30–8:00 a.m. on January 7, 1997, please contact Hamilton Police with any information.
