Justin Pollari was 14 years old when he disappeared from Hilton Beach, Ontario on December 7, 2001. Justin would be 39 years old today. Justin was a son, brother, grandson, nephew and a friend to many in the community. Justin enjoyed spending time with his friends, skateboarding and listening to music. I met Justin when he moved to Hilton Beach with his biological father, stepmother and stepbrothers in grade school. While Justin lived in Hilton Beach, he remained close with his biological mother and family.

Justin’s mother described the last time she saw her son, which was approximately one month before his disappearance. She recalled giving him a big hug and the two exchanging their I love you’s. Justin and his mother had a very special bond. One of my first memories of Justin was him saying how much he loved and missed his mom and showing a photograph of her that he kept in his backpack. To many, it never seemed logical or plausible that Justin would run away, leaving his loved ones behind.

Recently, after several witnesses have come forward with information, in addition to concerning claims made by friends and family as to what they witnessed that evening and week, Justin’s mother made another attempt to find answers. Nicoll Investigations, based out of Richmond Hill, Ontario, agreed to help investigate the case. Once Nicoll Investigations began their investigation into Justin’s disappearance, there was an overwhelming amount of information and evidence brought forward. Friends of Justin and concerned members of the community have aided in the investigation and have offered community support in finding answers as to what happened to our friend, Justin.

Unfortunately, many of Justin’s family members have already spent a significant amount of money the past 24 years trying to find answers. The investigative work that has recently been completed by Nicoll Investigations has been undertaken voluntarily.

Justin’s friends are requesting the assistance of the public in raising money to aid in the private investigation into Justin’s disappearance.

Justin’s mother has requested that funds be transferred directly to Nicoll Investigations to compensate their hard work, care and diligence. She thanks everyone for their recent help.

Monetary donations will not be handled by me. All funds raised on this page will get transferred directly to Nicoll Investigations. Funds will assist investigators with travel, business cost, accommodations, and searches. If there is an excess of funds that Nicoll Investigations does not require, the remaining funds will go to Justin’s biological mother.

Justin’s friends and community would like to the thank everyone for their assistance in finding answers and bringing justice to the family. Let’s get Justin’s mom some much deserved and overdue answers.
