Emabit Yelma Yafru was 22 and five months pregnant when she vanished from Toronto, Ontario. She was last seen on January 9, 1990, shortly after arriving in Canada from Ethiopia. Some accounts suggest she traveled to Toronto on January 11, two days after that last confirmed sighting, and her husband arrived in Toronto on January 25 to find she was nowhere to be found.

Described as slender with long black hair, brown eyes and a scar on her lower right leg, Emabit’s disappearance was assigned to the Toronto Police Service Missing Persons Unit. Few public details exist about the investigation; it is not known what evidence, if any, was collected or whether there were persons of interest. The trail went cold and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone knew Emabit, saw her in Toronto in January 1990, or has any information about her movements after January 9, please come forward.
