On a Thursday afternoon, August 18, 2011, a 19-year-old male named Dennis James Bastillo was seen for the last time in North Vancouver, British Columbia. Known to his loved ones as DJ, he was of Filipino heritage, stood at five feet eleven inches tall with a slender build, and had black hair and brown eyes. That day, he was wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans. At approximately 4:00 p.m., Dennis was spotted on the 239 (west) bus, seemingly on his way to the Park Royal shopping mall. He was living with his family at the time, but when he left home, he intentionally left behind his wallet, cell phone, and even his glasses. The circumstances surrounding Dennis's disappearance suggest that his actions may have been planned. It was discovered that he had written letters to his family and friends. In these letters, he expressed his love for them and wrote that he would miss them. This discovery, coupled with the fact that he left behind all his personal belongings, created a deeply concerning picture for his family and the authorities who were alerted to his disappearance. The North Vancouver RCMP were contacted and opened an investigation into the matter. Based on the evidence, including the letters he left behind, police have indicated a belief that Dennis may have taken his own life. However, without any further evidence, his whereabouts remain unknown. Despite the official speculation, his family has held onto hope for his return. The case of Dennis James Bastillo is a heart-wrenching one, involving a young man who seemingly vanished after leaving what appeared to be final goodbyes. The investigation began after he was last seen on a public bus, having left all his essential personal items at his family's home. The letters he wrote point towards a planned disappearance, leaving his loved ones in a state of uncertainty and grief. While authorities have considered a tragic outcome, the absence of concrete evidence means the case remains unresolved.
