Summary based on the NamUs case record (can2006009399) and
1 other sourceIn the quiet winter of 2001, a family's life was forever altered by the disappearance of 38-year-old Patrick Ukrainetz. On December 20th of that year, the man from St. Isidore, Ontario, was last seen in the town of St-Sauveur, Quebec. It was not unusual for Patrick to leave his mother's home for periods, but he had always made a point of returning. This time, however, would be different, marking the beginning of a long and painful period of uncertainty for his loved ones.
Six days after his last confirmed sighting, on December 26, 2001, a surveillance camera at a bank in St-Sauveur captured an image of Patrick. This would be the last known trace of him. Following this brief recording, all activity on his bank account ceased, deepening the mystery surrounding his whereabouts. At the time of his disappearance, Patrick was described as a Caucasian male, standing 5'10" and weighing approximately 198 pounds. He had a medium build, a fair complexion, brown eyes, and long, white hair with a beard. He was last seen wearing a brown, waist-length nylon hiking coat, a grey cotton sweatshirt, and brown hiking boots.
The case of Patrick Ukrainetz has remained unsolved for years, leaving a void in the lives of those who knew him. The lack of any new leads or information has made it a challenging investigation for the Hawkesbury detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police. The details of his case have been shared in hopes that someone might come forward with information that could finally shed light on what happened to him after he was seen at the bank in St-Sauveur. The investigation remains open, a lingering question in the heart of his community and a testament to the enduring pain of not knowing.Last Seen: Dec 20, 2001
