Edgar Latulip was only 21 years old when he vanished from the city of Kitchener, Ontario almost 30 years ago.
Latulip has a developmental delay and learning disabilities, apparently took a bus towards the Niagara Falls area towards St Catherines. According to CTV, he suffered a head injury shortly afterwards, essentially forgetting who he was for almost three decades.
However, this year Latulip informed a social worker that he finally remembered his name, so will now be returning home after all this time missing. A DNA test has proved he is who he says he is, and police are in the process of reuniting him with his family.
Const. Duane Gingerich, of the Waterloo Regional Police, told CTV:
“I did speak with one of the family members yesterday and today, and … they’re obviously very happy about it, and they’re making plans to get together with Edgar and speak with him further.”
The police have said this is an unprecedented incident, and they have never seen something like this in their entire history.
