Ujjvalkumar Ramanbhai Patel Missing Person Case

Ujjvalkumar Ramanbhai Patel was a 27-year-old man living in Mississauga, Ontario, when the circumstances surrounding his disappearance unfolded in June 2015. Canada’s national missing-persons database records his official “missing since” date as June 27, 2015, although the same RCMP case entry states that the last confirmed sighting of Ujjvalkumar was earlier, on June 15, 2015, at his workplace in nearby Brampton. At the time, Ujjvalkumar was attending college in Ontario while also working, establishing a routine that connected him to both his studies and employment in the Greater Toronto Area. Shortly before he disappeared, he reportedly told his landlord that he needed to return to India because of a family emergency. The statement suggested that he intended to leave Canada and travel home, but investigators later learned that he never arrived in India. That unexplained break between what Ujjvalkumar said he intended to do and what actually happened became one of the central circumstances of his disappearance. The official record does not publicly explain whether a flight had been booked, whether investigators established that he reached an airport, or whether there was a confirmed sighting of him after he was seen at work. Instead, the documented trail ends with the knowledge that he had spoken of traveling to India but never reached his stated destination.

The limited information that has been released publicly leaves a significant gap between Ujjvalkumar’s last verified activities and the date formally associated with his disappearance. The RCMP case summary identifies June 15 as the date he was last seen at his workplace in Brampton, while his personal case information identifies June 27 as the date he went missing. Publicly available sources do not provide enough information to explain the twelve-day difference, and it would be misleading to speculate about what occurred during that period. What is known is that Ujjvalkumar was born in 1988 and was described as a slender or thin man standing approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing about 161 pounds. He had brown eyes and straight black hair that was worn above the ears. His teeth were described as being in good condition, and investigators recorded a distinctive red birthmark on his right buttock, a feature that could assist in identification. These physical details were preserved by investigators because, when other leads become scarce, even a seemingly minor identifying characteristic can become important. Public sources do not describe what clothing Ujjvalkumar was wearing when he was last seen, nor do they provide information about a vehicle, personal belongings, cellular-phone activity, financial transactions, travel documents, surveillance footage, or anyone known to have accompanied him. The absence of those details from the public record does not necessarily mean investigators did not examine them; it means only that such information has not been made publicly available in the sources documenting his case.

Ujjvalkumar’s disappearance was entered into Canada’s national missing-persons system under RCMP case reference 2015052895 and is associated with Peel Regional Police Service case number PR150371507.21. Peel Regional Police are identified as the investigating police service, reflecting Ujjvalkumar’s connection to Mississauga, while the last confirmed workplace sighting identified in the federal record occurred in Brampton. Anyone possessing information connected to the disappearance is directed by the national database to Peel Regional Police, and information can also be provided anonymously through Crime Stoppers. More than the identifying statistics recorded in a database, however, the case concerns a young man who was building his life in Ontario through college and employment and who apparently expected others to believe he was temporarily leaving Canada because his family needed him. Instead, he vanished before reaching the destination he had described. No detailed public account explains where he went after leaving his workplace, how he planned to reach India, what happened to his possessions, or why communication apparently ceased. The known story therefore remains concentrated around a few important facts: Ujjvalkumar Ramanbhai Patel was 27 years old and living in Mississauga; he was attending college and working in Brampton; he told his landlord that he planned to fly to India for a family emergency; he never arrived there; the RCMP records June 15, 2015, as his last confirmed workplace sighting while listing June 27, 2015, as his official missing-since date; and investigators preserved his physical description and distinctive birthmark in hopes that information from the public might help explain what happened. In overview, the case is defined by an intended international journey that apparently never occurred as expected, a twelve-day discrepancy between the last documented sighting and the official disappearance date, and a troubling absence of publicly known evidence showing where Ujjvalkumar went after he was last seen.
