Human remains identified as missing person from 1994, investigators looking for information
(Ottawa)–The Ottawa Police Service Major Crime Unit has commenced an investigation into human remains that have been positively identified as a person who went missing in 1994.
The remains were discovered on May 10, 2016 on a property being developed for housing in the Maple Creek Estates area on Cabrelle Place in the Manotick area.
A forensic examination of the remains has been conducted. The examination identified the remains as that of Shafiq Visram. The 19 year old went missing from his home in Ottawa on May 30, 1994.
The family of Mr. Shafiq has been contacted by the Ottawa Police Service and is aware of his identification.
The Major Crime Unit is now seeking any information that would assist investigators in determining the events surrounding Mr. Shafiq’s disappearance.
Anyone with information regarding this investigation is asked to call Ottawa Police’s Major Crime Unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5493.
Something is very wrong with this case. I read that earlier in one of Ottawa’s toilet papers of record and to go missing for all that time especially the foreigners who hold tight onto family something does not add up at all. There had to be tremendous pressure on this young man or something horrible happened for him to do away with himself unless he was attacked. It remains a mystery so far.
