Where is missing Gravenhurst man, Justin Evans?

Snipped
It was Dec. 12 when B.’s wife J., Justin’s mother, last heard from her son via text. She had asked if he was able to get time off for the holidays from his job at McLaren Press Graphics.

It hasn’t been confirmed yet, Justin texted back.

Now B. wonders if it was even Justin who wrote the message. It wasn’t until Monday, Dec. 14 that Justin’s roommate and co-worker told anyone he hadn’t seen Justin, who he carpooled to work with every day from their home at Muskoka Falls Camp and Trailer park in Kilworthy.

B., who called OPP right away to report Justin missing that night, said: “The part that eats at us the most is that they waited three days to look for him.”

Family, 'fearing the worst,' pleads for information about missing man - OrilliaMatters.com
22 Jan 2021

“Foul play has not been ruled out and it is considered criminally suspicious,” said OPP Det.-Insp. Matt Watson. Evans’s disappearance “is still an active investigation and we continue to follow up on all leads,” Watson said, noting the search efforts have included aviation, canine and analytical services as well as the Emergency Response Team.

“We remain very concerned for Justin and his family is desperate to learn of his whereabouts,” Watson said. “I’m urging anyone with information, no matter how insignificant they may think it is, to contact (Bracebridge) OPP. If they wish to remain anonymous, then please call Crime Stoppers.”

Quite puzzling why his...roommates I should say? were so slow to notice and do more about him disappearing specially since his friend and him worked at the same place
Gives me some Maya Millete vibes and I don't like that.

Let's hope he can be found, whichever way that is.

JMO.

Virtual vigil in support of missing Gravenhurst man Justin Evans reaches across the country

February 17, 2021
''According to his family, Evans is a laid-back, kind, responsible person who spent a lot of time with his extended, close-knit family, often helping out with the family business, Wise Choice Sporting Goods and Gunsmithing.

As Christmas passed, followed by the birthdays of both his sisters, the unanswered questions continue to pile up.

“We know enough to know he didn’t just wander off,” Holborn said. The family’s focus remains on finding Evans and bring him home, she said.

“What we want is to play on the heart of that person who knows something,” she said. “We want him with our family instead of out there alone.”

If you have any information concerning the whereabouts of Justin Evans, please contact Ontario Provincial Police at 1-888-310-1122.

You can also contact Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477 or report information online at crimestopperssdm.com.''

I just heard about this case on YT. Wow! There are so many hinky vibes with this one. It’s already been a while with nothing new (that we know if). Prayers for his family.

Geez. This is getting scarier and scarier. What in the world happened in that trailer park? Justin must have seen or known something he wasn't supposed to about this other death they're investigating. I'm putting my faith in LE. I hope they can find Justin soon and make whatever arrests are necessary. MOO

‘Holding pattern:’ police say missing Gravenhurst man’s case waiting on forensics analysis
Wednesday, February 24, 2021

The case ... is in a “holding pattern” until the results of "several items" sent for forensic testing return, ...

Snip

...it is taking time to process that evidence “because of the level of thoroughness we’ve asked for with some of the exhibits.” “Once we have all the results back from CFS I think we’ll have a clearer picture,” he said.

The January sudden death of another resident of the trailer park is also under Watson’s purview but he would not comment on whether it is linked to the Evans case.

ITA with the hinky vibes!! There are too many inconsistencies in the stories that came from some of the folks involved in Justin's case. There are two theories that I think may explain Justin's disappearance:

1) Money! I'd like to know when Justin most recently received a paycheck and how much money he had access to when he vanished. I can't help but think perhaps his disappearance had something to do with all the Christmas shopping. I'd also like to know who received what as Christmas gifts and what were the costs of those gifts. We know someone was sporting Justin's sunglasses, so what else was taken from him, I wonder?

2) Sex! Some may think that perhaps Justin and dude's gf may have had a secret fling or that Justin may have made unwanted advances toward her which might have led to a violent encounter in the shed. While I think that's possible I don't know if Justin is the type to ruin a friendship over a girl who admittedly didn't even like him as a friend. However, I wonder if there's someone who, while under the influence of alcohol (or whatever), might have made a pass at Justin in the shed. I could certainly see that getting out of hand which in turn led to violence. I've no reason to suspect that, but the idea sits right in the pit of my gut.

I hope and pray the forensic evidence taken from the shed includes enough biological evidence to give the authorities the answers they need to move forward with Justin's case. He strikes me as the kind of young man any of us would want as our son, brother, friend, etc. I hate this for his loved ones.

All of the above is MOO.

I had the same thought(s) as you.

Admin kindly approved Linda's videos! I hope I'm linking them correctly.

 

[Bogyo13]

The two sheds are a bit puzzling for me, if he had a shed with his stuff in it then why was he in the other shed that day? Which shed was found in disarray and what does that mean, did it look like a fight took place or someone searched for something?

Was blood found there and that's why police thinks foul play?

 

[Bogyo13]

Was he paying rent to this family?

How severe was his injury from the week before's accident? Could that have any relevance to his disappearance?

If best friend's girlfriend didn't like him, what was the general dynamics, was this building up negative feelings in best friend?

I wonder why Justin didn't drive? Usually it's a rite of passage for a boy to get his license, especially those who live in rural environments. I live very close to this area and most kids I knew were chomping at the bit to start driving legally since most already knew how to drive using rural back roads.

There is something very off about the sequence of events of Justin living in the same home as the person he drove and worked with and them never showing the slightest interest in his absence, not even checking his room for nearly 3 days. The disarray of the shed could be related to an physical altercation or someone making it appear there was one.

It concerns me that his friend is seen wearing his sunglasses and the fact that the father lied about the trip to Barrie. Was he trying to create an alibi for his son?

I dont think Justin's height would him from harm. Jake Just went missing over 25 years ago in Midland not too far from here and he was a burly 6 foot 3.

Unfortunately there is quite a bit of drug use in these rural areas and I wonder if Justin somehow got involved, even if unintentionally. . There was a big bust in Muskoka in December related to an opioid death (maybe the unrelated death?). A few of those charged were from Bracebridge.

According to 'best friend' Justin smoked pot regularly but not sure it's true. That doesn't mean he'd try harder stuff imo but he might have seen something he was not supposed to?

Perhaps he has health problems preventing him from driving cars?
