In the quiet town of Hilton Beach, Ontario, a 14-year-old boy named Justin Pollari walked through his front door on December 7, 2001... and vanished into the night.
Troubled by a broken home and carrying the weight of a fight he wouldn’t explain, Justin grabbed his skateboard, stuffed a backpack with clothes, and ran. A scrape on his lip. A six-inch Mohawk hidden under a black toque. Red running shoes fading into the darkness.
A gas station attendant in Sault Ste. Marie—67 kilometers away—swears they saw him climb into a Quik X truck, headed for the unknown. His family believed he was bound for Toronto. But the sprawling city swallowed every trace of him. Searches turned up nothing. Sightings flickered, then faded.
Was Justin running from his past—or toward something no one could predict? Did he start a new life as “Joe,” wearing a wooden name tag etched with “Woody”? Now, at 36 years old, is he still out there, hiding in plain sight?
Ontario Cold Cases: Canada’s True Crime Podcast dives into the mystery of Justin Pollari’s disappearance. We unravel the clues, chase the sightings, and ask the question that haunts a family: What happened to Justin?
Don’t miss the trail of a boy who vanished—and the truth that’s still out there.
Because every case deserves answers—and every victim deserves justice.
