Jaime Morey Wyatt, 62, disappeared from Halifax, Nova Scotia, in November 1996 after traveling there from his home in Newfoundland to look for work. He was staying at the Twin Elms Motel on Inglis Street with his room paid until November 17, the day he was expected to return home. The last reported contact was the evening of Saturday, November 16, 1996, when he spoke with a motel employee and said he was going to be picked up for a dinner party and other evening functions; no one has confirmed seeing or hearing from him after that night.

When staff entered his room they found all of his personal effects — including passport, seaman’s papers, and wallet — still behind, which suggests he had not planned to be away long. Friends and family described him as a friendly, healthy ship’s cook; he was about 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 7 inches tall, 160 to 170 pounds, medium build, blue eyes and bald with a fringe of grey hair. Investigators consider the circumstances suspicious and the case remains open, with a reward offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

Did anyone in Halifax in mid-November 1996 see Jaime or know anything about the dinner party he mentioned?
