Carmelo Tomasino, 32, disappeared from Montréal on January 19, 2004. His last contact was a brief, unexplained phone call to his wife saying he could not pick up their young daughter from school; he gave no reason and the call ended. Family described his failure to contact them after that as completely out of character.

Tomasino is 5 feet 11 inches, about 211 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes and distinctive chest tattoos: two hearts with inscriptions and a small monster drawing on the left side. On the same day he vanished, Paolo Gervasi was shot dead in a St. Leonard parking lot. Reports later alleged Tomasino had been present, may have been accidentally shot, and was then killed rather than treated, and that Giuseppe Ponytail De Vito was responsible for both deaths.

Officially the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal still lists Tomasino as missing and the file remains open. Does anyone have information about Tomasino’s movements on January 19, 2004, or recall seeing him that day?
