More than 25 years have passed, but Lori has never stopped searching for her son, Justin Pollari.
Justin was 14 years old when he disappeared in 2001. Since then, Lori has spent more than two decades carrying questions that no parent should have to live with.
On July 7th, Lori made the long drive from Napanee to Sault Ste. Marie to meet with a new OPP homicide detective, hoping the meeting could help move Justin's case forward.
She spent approximately three hours in that meeting.
According to Lori, she was left waiting for the follow-up she had hoped for. Rather than giving up, she continued reaching out β contacting officials and asking for answers.
Through all of this, independent investigator Jay Nicoll has continued working on Justin's case.
Jay has been following leads, speaking directly with people connected to the area, and working to uncover information that may help bring clarity to what happened to Justin.
For Lori, having someone who continues to show up and keep looking means something very important:
Hope.
After more than 25 years, she is still asking the same question every mother deserves an answer to:
What happened to Justin?
This is not about creating accusations or pointing fingers. It is about keeping Justin's story visible, supporting Lori, and helping an ongoing independent investigation continue responsibly.
If you are able to help, even a small donation can make a difference. Jay has explained that the funds raised are intended to support the boots-on-the-ground work of the investigation β travel, meeting people face-to-face, following leads, and continuing the search.
