On the evening of March 1, 2017, Maryam Mehrvarz, a 42-year-old woman, was last seen in Toronto, Ontario, at approximately 9:00 p.m. She was not alone. Authorities report that she was last seen together with 10-year-old Kian Norouzian, and the two have been recorded as part of the same missing-person investigation. Official records identify Maryam as having been born in 1974 and also note that she has used the alternate name Myaram Rzmehrva.
The publicly available information does not describe what Maryam and Kian were doing before they disappeared, where in Toronto they were last observed, whether they were travelling by vehicle or another means, or where they may have intended to go after they were last seen. What is established is that both disappeared together that night and were subsequently entered into Canada's national missing-person system under the same case.
Kian Norouzian was 10 years old when he disappeared with Maryam. Authorities describe him as a boy with short black hair and brown eyes, a light or fair complexion, and a medium build. At the time he was approximately 4 feet 7 inches tall and weighed about 88 pounds. The federal record does not provide clothing information or distinctive identifying features for either Kian or Maryam, and it does not publicly explain the relationship between them or the circumstances that caused investigators to consider them missing. Because so little about their final known movements has been released, the case remains defined by a narrow but important timeline: Maryam and Kian were together in Toronto at approximately 9:00 p.m. on March 1, 2017, and their whereabouts afterward have not been publicly established.
The disappearance was assigned federal case reference 2017013180, while the Toronto Police Service investigation is associated with reference number 2017-451940.D32. The Toronto Police Service Missing Persons Unit is identified as the investigating agency, and authorities continue to seek information that could help determine what happened after Maryam and Kian were last seen. The official record does not publicly describe evidence of an accident, criminal act, voluntary departure, or any other specific explanation for their disappearance, making speculation about the circumstances inappropriate. Instead, investigators have continued to rely on information from anyone who may have seen the pair, communicated with them, or learned something about their movements following their last confirmed sighting.
As of September 18, 2026, Canada's official missing-person database continued to list Maryam Mehrvarz and Kian Norouzian as missing, with no publicly reported resolution to their case. Anyone with information is directed to the Toronto Police Service Missing Persons Unit or Crime Stoppers, where information may be provided anonymously. Years have passed since the night the two were last seen, yet the essential questions remain unanswered: where they went after approximately 9:00 p.m., what circumstances led to their disappearance, and where they are now. In overview, Maryam Mehrvarz and 10-year-old Kian Norouzian vanished together from Toronto on March 1, 2017, and despite the passage of time and their continued inclusion in Canada's national missing-person records, publicly available information provides only a limited account of their final known movements, leaving their disappearance unresolved and the search for answers ongoing.Last Seen: Mar 1, 2017
