In the summer of 1994, the quiet region around North Bay, Ontario became the backdrop for a chilling mystery—four men vanished one after another, without connection or trace, and their families remain desperate for answers decades later.

🔍 The Vanishing Timeline

Brian Joseph Dunlop, 35, was the first to disappear. Last seen on June 2, 1994, he was known to hitchhike and hop trains around North Bay. His sudden absence set off a chain reaction.

Just over a month later, David Allan Chevrier, 26, who was managing schizophrenia, vanished on June 22, 1994, from the area—marking another baffling disappearance.

Walter Charles Westbrook, 69, went missing on September 8, 1994, reportedly walking southbound from the Highwayman Restaurant along Highway 11. He was traveling south, possibly relocating to southern Ontario, when he disappeared.

Finally, Kenny Blais vanished within days of Walter’s disappearance, though fewer details are publicly known.

🧩 Stranger Than Fiction

What makes these disappearances truly unsettling is the lack of apparent connection—no shared social circles, no common destination, and no crime scene linking them. All were men, all disappeared near North Bay, within roughly 100 days—but investigators still have no explanation.

🕵️‍♂️ Investigation Efforts

North Bay Police continue to list these cases among their unsolved investigations. In 2016, authorities highlighted these four along with others in hopes of jogged memories or new leads. Despite improvements in databases and forensics, no identified bodies or confirmed sightings have surfaced since 1994. The provincial “Resolve Initiative” has aided in matching unknown remains, but these cases remain open.

📣 Families Still Waiting

Families of Walter, Kenny, David, and Brian have expressed growing despair yet cling to hope. They continue to call for witnesses or anyone with seemingly insignificant information to come forward—it could be the missing piece to human trafficking, foul play, or mental health crises. The plea is clear: “The silence has lasted long enough. It’s time to bring these men home.”
