Lost and found: How Hamilton police handle missing-persons cases

The most recent is that of William (Bill) Bokstein, who was 50 when he disappeared in February after dropping his teenaged daughter off at school. Police and family know he went to Niagara Falls where he was captured on surveillance taking out money near the Fallsview Casino Feb. 25.

For Christine, his wife of 26 years, the not knowing is agonizing.

She believes he has likely passed away. Before his disappearance, Bill faced several losses of loved ones and wasn't taking it well. He would never just walk out on his family, she said.

The family held also a celebration of life

Sadly..
Body of Hamilton man missing since 2018 found
Nov 18 2021
''A Hamilton missing person case from 2018 has come to a tragic end with the discovery of the man’s body.

His death is not suspicious.''

''The 50-year-old was reported missing in late February 2018 by concerned family after he didn’t come home. He was last seen on surveillance video on Feb. 25 in Niagara Falls. He had checked into a hotel, but never checked out. Police later found his car.

Bokstein was a loving father and family man. He worked as a personal support worker and had been dealing with the loss of loved ones around the time of his disappearance.
The family has asked for privacy.''
