30 years missing person case solved as man remembers identity

Edgar Latulip was 21 years old when he vanished from the southern Ontario city. Nearly 30 years after his disappearance, he solved his own cold case when he suddenly remembered his identity. He was apparently found 130 kilometres away in St. Catharines, Ont., and is doing well. It was revealed that Latulip had suffered a head injury shortly after arriving in the city years ago and "effectively forgot who he was."
But in January of this year, Latulip told a social worker in St. Catharines that he remembered his name, putting the gears in motion for his return home. At the time of his disappearance, police believed Latulip, who has a developmental delay, took a bus and travelled to the Niagara Falls area. Even though they were on the right track, they were unable to find him.
"It's the only case, that I know of, where we've been able to find someone who has been missing for this period of time," Det. Const. Duane Gingerich, of the Waterloo Regional Police, told CTV Kitchener. Police say a DNA test on Friday confirmed his identity and a reunion with his family is in the works.
Latulip's mother, Silvia Wilson, said she is overwhelmed by her son's return, CTV News reports.
