Thirty Years Later, Man Discovers His Missing Self (Video)
Edgar Latulip disappeared in 1986. He was a toothy 21-year-old living in a group home in Ontario, Canada, recovering from a suicide attempt. Family members described him as “developmentally disabled.” One day, he got on a bus for nearby Niagara Falls, and just vanished.
In January 2016, this man who was now in his fifties suddenly realized who he was. DNA tests have confirmed it. For thirty years, Edgar Latulip had been living under a different name just eighty miles from his hometown, no memory of who he used to be.
The details of Latulip’s life up to this point remain sketchy out of privacy concerns, but investigators believe that after he left the group home and went off his medications, he fell and hit his head. The injury caused him to forget his life and his identity. Over the years, he built a new one life and identity, living independently in the city of St. Catherines, Ontario.
Latulip told a social worker that he had been having strange flashbacks and dreams, and this social worker contacted authorities when Latulip suddenly had an epiphany about what his real name might be. Now, police are helping Latulip get in touch with his surviving family members, including his mother, who for years has worried that her son was being abused because of his developmental issues.
Latulip is said to be adjusting to the news of who he really is slowly, as he integrates his old identity into his new one. While it is an unusual event because cold cases are rarely solved anyway, particularly after so many decades, it is even more of an unusual event because Latulip is the missing person who was able to solve his own disappearance.
