Istefan E. Toma, 58, was last seen in Vaughan, Ontario, at about 10:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 30, 2001, after finishing his shift at Pop’s Pizza Bar and Cafe at 5694 Highway 7. He left work and simply vanished; there were no reported signs of trouble as he clocked out.

Weeks later police located his grey Pontiac Bonneville abandoned at the West Woodbridge Industrial Mall, 5732 Highway 7, less than a block from where he was last seen. The car’s proximity to his workplace answered no questions about his whereabouts, and no trace of Mr. Toma was found.

The disappearance remains an unsolved cold case and York Regional Police continue to seek information. If anyone who lived or worked along Highway 7 in Vaughan in June 2001 remembers seeing Mr. Toma or his Pontiac Bonneville, please contact investigators.
