''It was a mostly cloudy, with the temperatures around the freezing mark on December 2, 2001. It had snowed for part of the day but visibility was clear in Sault Ste. Marie that night. It was also the last time a boy was seen.
At 14-years old, Justin Pollari was last seen, for sure, at a diner in Hilton Beach according to his mother.''
Lori Smith, Justin’s mother, tells SaultOnline about her experience when her son went missing.
“I did my own investigation, I talked to people at the restaurant, they told me he was there that day,” said Smith. “He’s wasn’t the type of boy not to check in with his mom, although he lived with his dad, he loved me, loved his sisters.”
She spent weeks just waiting for him to return.
“I looked for him, I looked for him, I waited for him at my place [in] Searchmont, waiting for him to open up a car door and get out and come home.” Smith told SaultOnline.com. “I was so sure that he would come to me up in Searchmont at that time, because he had great friends up there. Everybody loved him.”
When Justin went missing he was living with his dad in Hilton Beach. He was 5’9 with blonde hair and blue eyes and weighed only 140lbs on the night he disappeared.
There has been no word from him ever since that day.''
