Details About Steven’s Case: On October 14th, 2014, out-of-province family members of Steven Hector Gravel contacted the North Bay Police Service to report that they had not heard from Steven in a prolonged period of time.

Police have learned that Steven, who was 23 years old at the time, was last seen by friends at a home in North Bay shortly before midnight on December 23rd, 2000. He left the residence in a black 1990 Ford Bronco, which belonged to his stepfather, who is now deceased. After midnight, North Bay Police Service patrol officers observed a suspected impaired male driver in a vehicle matching the description of the Ford Bronco. They tried to initiate a traffic stop at the time, but were unsuccessful.

In the early morning hours of December 24th, 2000, the Ontario Provincial Police located the abandoned Ford Bronco in the area of Lake Nosbonsing Road, 200 metres east of the highway 11/654 exit. There was no evidence that the driver was injured. It looked as though the driver had left the scene on foot. Police were unable to locate the driver. At the time, the investigation concluded that Steven Gravel had been driving the vehicle and had taken the vehicle without his stepfather’s consent.

The North Bay Police Service issued a warrant for Steven’s arrest as a result of the investigation in December 2000 but were unable to locate him. Police did not receive any report of him being missing until close to 14 years later, in October 2014.

Since the missing person report, police have been following up on all potential leads, however, no confirmed information points to his current whereabouts.

Steven is originally from Cochrane, Ontario. He grew up in North Bay and was a former student of Widdifield Secondary School. He is known to have a passion for fishing, snowmobiling, mountain-biking and socializing with friends.
