Missing kids website revives old cases

A new social-media website that catalogues missing children across Canada and links national police forces could prove invaluable for helping to reunite families.

[snip]

For Jaye Rutter, whose son, Justin, disappeared nearly two years ago, the website offers some more hope.

[snip]

At the time, Justin's photo was plastered all over the area, but 19 months later, the posters are gone and the tips have dried up.

But instead of Justin's face fading from memory, his case is now being revived online. The new missing kids website will include his photo, with the hopes that it will attract someone's attention and provide new leads as to his whereabouts.

I always see his photo on a missing children sign in the Walmart store I go to, they have it in the entrance. I always feel a sadness when I see that missing children poster and wonder what happened, he looks like a naive child who may have been taken advantage of but I pray that he is alive out there, maybe he just ran away....

Despite eight public pleas for information, only about 50 tips have trickled in over the years, and none have panned out.

Police said Wednesday they fear the worst — it is more likely that Rutter is dead, either through misadventure or murder.

“After five years, it’s concerning to us that we haven’t located him,” said Supt. Don Sweet, in the latest appeal at headquarters. “Clearly, we think there’s other possibilities here.”

"The sketch of Justin Rutter is that of a young man, hair brushed to one side, eyes gazing straight ahead, his jawline more defined.

It’s the best guess at what Justin might look like today — five years after he disappeared from Ottawa at the age of 14.

Ottawa police hope that the subtle differences between the photos of Justin Rutter then and the artist’s sketch they released at a news conference Wednesday might spark some clue, big or small, in the mind of a witness, so that authorities can finally learn the teen’s fate"

Sorry but is the pizza place mentioned Louis or something to that effect?

That is a rough area and it has only gotten worse over the years.

''One disturbing hypothesis is that someone took his life. On this possibility, Jaye provided a startling detail: the day Justin disappeared, he’s believed to have been involved in a physical altercation with another teenager.

As Jaye tells it, the youth came up to her son while he was sitting at a table in Lowertown’s Jules Morin Park. He was much larger than Justin, and “beat him up.”

She knows this because someone captured the incident on a phone camera, and police obtained the footage. Jaye couldn’t bring herself to watch it, but Justin’s father did.

Reporting from the time corroborates Jaye’s account: “Justin went missing sometime after 8 p.m. after getting into a fight with another boy at a Lowertown park,” reads one Citizen story. “He left the park alone and was heading west toward the ByWard Market.”

Then, in the days after Justin’s disappearance, Jaye said she was given second-hand information that the boy who beat up Justin was bragging with his friends “that they had stabbed Justin a bunch of times and thrown him off a bridge.”

Immediately, Jaye remembers calling police from a parking lot and relaying everything she had just heard. Within an hour, she said, the lead detective told her it was just a rumour.

All these years later, the same boy, now an adult, was recently charged for alleged involvement in an unrelated violent crime''.

But the last time someone saw him was his friend on Cote Street near St-Laurent boulevard right? Or is the only last confirmed sighting the Lowertown park sighting?

I'm from Ottawa and have lived in both Lowertown and Vanier are (Cote Street neighborhood).
Presumably on the day of his disappearance he was relying on public transit to get between Lowertown (where both the park and his mother's house is) and Cote Street where reportedly his friend last saw him... so what happened? Did he decide to walk somewhere? He was in residential areas with busy streets so I think someone would of seen or heard something if he was attacked on the streets.
What if he did get home and his mother is trying to cover things up? A risk assessment for domestic violence could help figure things out.
