OK so what if it is the same person involved in these three as well as Andrew Kinsman and Selim Esen? The last two disappearances are a few months apart, as was the disappearance of Skandaraj and Abdulbasir in 2010. The holiday thing is more than a coincidence. Why didn't the police see this? Did they? Someone in Toronto for the holidays? Someone who likes big hairy guys with beards or facial hair. It's definitely a preference. Does this person just go to bars or clubs and seek the men out or does he use social media? Both? This person has a car for sure. There was a car involved with the Zipperz case.
 
I find it timely that Justin Ling wrote this article on June 9th and less than three weeks later, Andrew Kinsman disappears. Selim Esen's disappearance in April went unnoticed and the date given was incorrect anyway. Maybe the perp reads Vice?
 
The perp likely keeps a low profile in the Gay Village and community because he would definitely be recognized. A "straight" man?
 
Police, Toronto's LGBTQ community search for missing men

Andrew Kinsman, 49, was last seen on June 26, after attending Pride celebrations in the city. Selim Esen, 44, disappeared on April 14.

Investigators said there’s been some suggestion that Kinsman and Esen’s disappearances are somehow connected to the cases of three other men who went missing from the Church and Wellesley area between 2010 and 2012. So far, police say, no link has been established between the older and more recent disappearances, but all possibilities are being considered.

Hi there, I realize this is more than four years old now but was there any resolution to this missing person case involving Saurabh Kulkarni? I can't seem to find anything online. This seems important, given the location. Age and apparent appearance are not similar, but the location Isabella / Yonge is right in the heart of the village.

Thanks

[h=1]Are police doing enough to find missing people in Toronto’s Gay Village?[/h] [h=2]Two recent deaths in Toronto’s Gay Village—in addition to five missing-persons cases—have left the LGBTQ community frustrated

Here’s a truism: People don’t just disappear.

In the last decade, there have maybe been just a couple hundred unresolved missing persons cases in Canada. Many of those outstanding cases have implicit explanations—they had health troubles, they were suicidal, they wanted to run away—but very few remain where there is genuinely no explanation available.

But five such cases are hanging over Toronto’s Gay Village. And concern is growing that not enough is being done to investigate.

You may have heard of the details of those cases already. Skandaraj Navaratnam went missing on on Sept. 6, 2010, after walking out of a now-closed dive bar on the fringes of the Gay Village. Abdulbasir Faizi, on Dec. 29, 2010, his last bank statement shows him buying a burger in the Village after a night of bar-hopping. Majeed Kayhan was reported missing on Oct. 14, 2012, with security camera footage capturing him leaving his apartment. Selim Esen disappeared on Apr. 14, 2017, just as he was trying to get his life back on track, after completing addiction counselling. Andrew Kinsman vanished on June 26, 2017, in his neighbourhood, not far from the Village.

All five of these men were, as the cops phrased it, “known to frequent the areas of Church Street and Wellesley Street.” In other words: They were gay. Faizi was in the closet, sneaking off from his wife and kids to visit the Village, while Kinsman was openly gay, and even worked part-time at an LGBTQ campground north of the city. Most had similar builds and facial hair. All were, apart from Kinsman, non-white. (Navaratnam is Sri Lankan; Faizi and Kayhan are Afghani; Esen is Turkish.)

Beyond that, there is no firm evidence linking one disappearance to another. No evidence that one knew the other’s name. Some frequented the same bars. Some used dating applications. But little came from those leads.

The most tangible thing linking all five of these cases is this: That they vanished so suddenly, so immediately, and so completely. When five men of such similar appearance go missing from the same neighbourhood, it’s hard to ignore. It’s a hell of a coincidence.

For many in the city’s tightly woven community, including myself—I was supposed to be at the party that Kinsman attended the night before his disappearance—these cases hit close to home

.
A common thread emerged, both sitting in on the town hall and in my conversation with Toronto police: The Gay Village and its environs simply has more missing persons and more unsolved murders than other parts of Toronto.

An arrest has been made in two of the missing person cases from the Village.

Man charged with murder in Church and Wellesley disappearances

Bruce McArthur, 66, faces two counts of first-degree murder in the disappearance of Selim Esen, 44, and Andrew Kinsman, 49. Police believe there are other victims.
Click to expand...
Investigators have also set up a dedicated phone line — 416-808-2021 — for any tips from the public.

“At this stage, we’re most concerned with identifying other victims of Mr. McArthur,” Idsinga said.

Police said in December that they’d met with members of the local community, and warned gay dating app users to be careful before meeting people found through those apps.

By October, investigators said they’d received over 150 leads and interviewed two dozen people, but were unable to find any link between the disappearances of both men.

rbbm.

The sign next to the suspect is interesting and quite likely appropriate, imo.

Skanda had links to Bruce McArthur.

An address mentioned in Bruce McArthur’s 2003 conviction for assault is possibly linked to Majeed.

Both missing men were regulars at the same bar (http://torontosun.com/2013/06/06/mi...lars/wcm/c8108d69-85e1-4367-97f3-bab7f5d8dba1)

I also thought I had found a link connecting Faizi to the same bar - but can’t put my hand on it right now.

Bruce McArthur currently charged with murder of Andrew Kinsman and Selim Esen.

IMO, Project Houston and Project Prism should be one & the same...
