Carlos Manuel Yuste was 44 when he vanished from Thompson, Manitoba, in the winter of 1981. On January 26 he left a friend’s home and was never seen or heard from again. He left behind all of his personal belongings, including his clothing, though he was last seen dressed for the cold in a brown fur hat and a green winter parka.

Friends said Yuste was struggling with depression and was despondent over being unemployed before he disappeared. He was about 6 feet tall, 200 pounds, with graying hair and brown eyes. Local authorities, including the Winnipeg RCMP Cold Case Unit, have kept a file on the disappearance but there has been no communication from him and no evidence of foul play reported.

If anyone knew Carlos, his routines in Thompson, or remembers that January day in 1981, please share what you know with investigators.
