Giuseppe Loui Renda, 53, was last seen on May 4, 2012, at about 12:30 p.m. on Saint-Viateur Street West in the Plateau Mont-Royal borough of Montreal. In the year before he vanished, those close to him said he had become more of a homebody, so his sudden absence was out of character and prompted his wife to notify police when he did not return home.

Officers later found Renda’s car abandoned on Saint-Urbain Street in the Little Italy neighbourhood, a different part of the city from where he was last seen. At the time he disappeared he was described as 178 cm tall, 93 kg, with greying hair, brown eyes, a beard and a scar on his right ear. He wore a navy blue bomber coat, a grey sweater, blue jeans and grey shoes.

Investigators and the family appealed to the public for information as the case grew cold and concrete leads failed to emerge. Does anyone have information about Giuseppe’s movements in early May 2012 or recall seeing his vehicle in Little Italy around that time?
