Trevor Anthony Thomas O’Brien was 11 when he disappeared after being picked up for a scheduled visit with his father, Gary O’Brien, on November 9, 1996. He was the middle of three brothers—Adam, 14, and Mitchell, 4—and was described as white with dark brown hair, blue eyes, about 4 feet 8 inches tall, roughly 70 pounds and bearing a small scar on the back of his head. He was reportedly wearing blue jeans and black-and-white Adidas sneakers at the time.

Gary phoned the boys’ mother around 8:30 p.m. and said he would not return the children, warning that the Torbay family home had been rigged to explode. Police found large propane tanks arranged as an explosive trap at the Torbay residence. Gary and the three boys vanished; a gray 1989 Ford Tempo believed to be theirs was sought, and part of that vehicle, including its engine, was later recovered from the ocean near Flatrock, but no bodies were found.

Leads came from across Canada and the United States, including a 1998 tip from Thunder Bay from a woman who said she had babysat for Gary and the boys, but investigators never established where Trevor and his brothers were taken or what happened after November 9, 1996. Does anyone have information about Trevor, his brothers, or Gary O’Brien’s movements around that time?
