Vatsal Rabari, 23, was last seen on September 19, 2022, at the L’Étape service station in the Laurentian Wildlife Reserve near Stoneham‑et‑Tewkesbury, Quebec. He had lived in Ontario and Nova Scotia before moving to Quebec. At the time he disappeared he was about five feet five inches tall, 115 pounds, with black hair and black eyes. He wore a grey hooded jacket and black pants and was carrying a dark backpack and a separate laptop bag.

Surveillance footage places him in Jonquière on September 18, and there were possible sightings there again on September 20 where he may have been with a dark-coloured mountain bike. His family received a postdated email in which he expressed despondency and he had recently resigned from his job; a missing person report was filed on September 25, 2022. The Montreal Police Service took the case and said they had reasons to fear for his safety while investigators sought public leads centered on the remote rest stop between the Saguenay and Quebec City regions.

What information can anyone share about Vatsal’s movements in the days around September 18–20, 2022, or about sightings on the road between Jonquière and L’Étape?
