John Steven Sparrow, 29 and originally from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, disappeared from Kingston, Ontario, in the spring of 2001. He was last seen in April or May leaving a Denny’s at Benson Avenue and Division Street and getting into an early 1990s black Chevrolet pick-up truck driven by an unknown man. Witnesses saw the truck head north, past Highway 401; Sparrow was never seen or heard from again.

At the time he vanished he was described as a Caucasian male, 5 feet 7 inches tall, about 165 pounds, with brown hair and eyeglasses. The initial investigation produced few leads and the file grew cold, though Kingston Police kept the case open. Years later his name surfaced during an unrelated criminal trial, briefly renewing public attention.

If anyone remembers seeing a black early 1990s Chevrolet pick-up near Benson and Division in April or May 2001, or has other information about John Sparrow’s last movements, please come forward.
